Uninterrupted Jollification
With my comical heroes of Sid Field,
Frank Randel, Laurel and Hardy,
Les Dawson, Larry Grayson,
Morecambe and Wise,
Peter Sellers, The Goons ,
Frank Spencer, Frankie Howerd
and of course Sir Ken Dodd as influences, I have tried to bring a love of comic character into my act... as well as my dress sense!
After writing comedy for Ken Dodd since 1987 I thought it was about time to stand up and be counted (one!)
I'm a firm believer in that old saying
'It's not what you say it's how you say it'
And I don't half say a lot!
It's getting the audience to trust you so
they know you won’t offend or embarrass them. Just be a little cheeky round the edges.
But... how best to describe my act?
Well, a sort of, a lot of hair and voices.
Writing Credits
From 1987 I wrote comedy for Ken Dodd and became a member
of the 'Comedy Writers of Great Britain'
I have proudly written material for:
The Ken Dodd Green Radio Show
Naked Video
Noel Edmonds Late Late Breakfast Show
An Audience with Ken Dodd (one and two)
Ken Dodd's live theatre shows.
I wrote and directed my own show 'The House of Whimsy',
a stand up / music and sketch show in the old style for a family audience which toured in 2008.
I've also written and directed 'Snow White', an open air summer Pantomime for Morecambe’s Happy Mount park in 2006
(and I gave myself a good acting part I can tell you! One of the perks of the job).
