I've been getting up in front of people and using my big cheesy face to get laughs since I was at school, but for a few years now I've been doing it for a job.
I've played the guitar since I was 15, but didn't have a sense of humour about it at first. That's all changed now.
I've also appeared on telly pretty regularly over the last five years - you're most likely to have seen me either a) advertising a popular apple based alcoholic beverage, b) in a porn film or c) drinking my own wee.

Thanks for the add - belated happy new year (it's only five days old, so it still counts!). Hope to see you and your guitar again soon - get yourself down to the South West! Cornwall needs more comedy, all we have at the moment are tractors and pasties. Not that funny, really.
Anyway, this was only meant to be a quick hello, so I'll stop waffling on, now.
Thanks for a great night on Friday @ The Sunshine Capital of the world that is Trowbridge. Not sure how my “reputation” I and the band have will survive after jumping on stage playing a blow up guitar but never the less thanks for a great night - and your musicianship was not lost on me and another member of the band you have a talent - you slipped thu the net!
Ooh, I know this week's movie quote challenge! XD Coming back to Edinburgh this year? You were hilarious last festival. Still got the inflated guitar in my room. :)
