    Additional Skills

    I still have some dance skills left - a bit of Jazz and tap but don't have the energy (or knees) for lots of jumping around any more.

    TV experience includes working to camera and providing voice overs.

    Additional Information

    Since leaving the group, I have appeared in several pantomimes including Wilton's Music Hall (2015 & 2016) where my part was written for me by Roy Hudd. I have also appeared in revue, a workshop of "Stand Up, The Musical" and most recently played Larry Grayson in '3 Days and 3 Minutes With Larry" which opened at the Lion and Unicorn then toured throughout April 2016.

    About me

    I'm a middle-aged actor with my mother's genes so I look younger than my actual age. Having spent 20 years in musical theatre as a song and dance man, I then became a founding member of 4 Poofs and a Piano (the house band on "Friday Night With Jonathan Ross") spending 12 years touring, playing comedy festivals and, of course, at the BBC. Left the group in 2012 to get back to theatre and haven't looked back since.
