Uninterrupted Jollification
With 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 that 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!)
It’s not what you say it’s how you say it.
Getting the audience to trust you so that they know you won’t offend or embarrass them.
Just be a little cheeky round the edges.
But how to describe my act?
Well a sort of Pickwickian whimsicality … with hair... and voices.

Writing Credits
From 1987 I wrote comedy for Ken Dodd and became a member of the `Comedy writers of great Britain` for a number of years.
I have written material for:
The Ken Dodd green radio show.
Naked Video
Noel Edmonds late late breakfast show
Audience with Ken Dodd one and two.
As well as The Ken Dodd live 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 an open air summer Panto for Morecambe’s Happy Mount park `Snow White` in 2006 which I also acted in
(and I gave myself a good part I can tell you ! one of the perks of the job )
