I've written sketches for Russ Abbott, Jacques Vermeire, Shoot The Writers, and for April Heiler, Samstag Nacht and The Robb Herzog Show (Germany). My gags have appeared in the Bumper Children's Joke Book. I have written for the satirical website DeadBrain. I have also had a large number of sketches put on the stage (including Oxford University Etceteras Revue Club), as well as my own Standup routine.
I have written articles - both humorous and non-humorous - for "Reach" magazine, "Shakespeare Scene" and "Best Of British" magazines. I am currently Comedy Critic for The News Shopper in South London.
As a actor, I have had roles in a number of TV comedies, including "The Brittas Empire" with Chris Barrie, "Murder Most Horrid" with Dawn French and "Joint Account". You may also have seen me in the TV series of "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels".
I played Finckelgruber in the Tim Burton "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and, as Marcel Langois in "Son of the Pink Panther", I was the man repsonsible for the death of Inspector Clousseau. I'm also going to be in the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". I have also done loads of commercials.
Apart from my own seminars and distance learning courses I teach Comedy Writing and Standup Comedy at Richmond Adult College and Radio Writing at St Mary's University College, Twickenham. I have taught Comedy Writing and the History of Sitcom at Urchfont Manor, The Hill, Burton Manor and Belstead House Residential Colleges.
