Stan Stanley

"Stan and Deliver! Stan Stanley can shake a crowd with his energetic pace…" The Daily Telegraph

Since becoming runner up of the Daily Telegraph Open Mike Award 2002 and making a big impact at the Edinburgh Fringe 2003 ("Simply Class" - Fest), Stan has become a firm favourite on the comedy circuit. Stan is a warm and genial comic with brilliant timing, who delivers smart, satirical observations that have more of an edge than their light-hearted handling and delivery suggest.

In 2004 Stan was invited to perform in the prestigious 'Britcom Show' at the Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. His appearance was so successful that the festival extended his stay.

"Stan Stanley was the triumph of the night" - Chortle review of the Britcom Show.

A prolific writer, Stan has written sketches for radio and television including two series of 'Man Stroke Woman' for BBC 3 (which later transferred to BBC 2), 'Blunder' Channel 4 and 'Parsons and Naylor's Big Pullout section' BBC Radio 4.

Stan is currently developing a radio sketch show with his wife Nina Conti. 2007 will see Stan continuing his success on the circuit, and making further inroads into TV and radio, through both his writing and performance.
