MAKING NOISES SINCE at least 2000…
Besides The Unrelated Family, and wasting folks’ time with The Unrehearsed Theatre Company, I have been performing comedy all over the shop since graduating in 2000, including shows at Glastonbury, Edinburgh, and indeed Ludlow festivals, and at venues around the capital and in the South West. Besides this, I’ve been a fellow of the Bath Comedy Festival since its beginnings, and run regular shows every April. I’ve been a solo performer since the middle of the last decade, and was happily inveigled into Neo-Burlesque shows by the incredible Gemma Sheree sometime in 2010, which was quite a ride before the burlesque bubble burst. Plus, Tales of Britain has provided a whole new world of family folklore fun.

I’m always interested in hearing about gig opportunities and guest spots, from comedy to festivals to podcasts, literary events and more, and I’ve also been known to compére shows with great aplomb when the fancy takes me – just give me a shout to hear current rates of remuneration…

This is probably not the appropriate juncture to mention that I have recorded 4 ‘studio’ albums as well, which can be ascertained by the truly determined.
They include…
• ‘Songs To Listen To Music By’ (2007)

• ‘100% Balls’ (2009)

• ‘Keeping The Zeitgeist At Arm’s Length’ (2011)

• ‘WSMLMSJSTFU’ (2017)

THESE ALBUMS ARE NOW AVAILABLE IN ALL BAD DREAMS.
