About me

Australian, been in the UK since 1966, presently based in Liverpool. I've been performing since the age of 8, when I sang and danced in the local Eisteddfod in Townsville Qld, Australia. I've performed professionally in many straight and avant garde fringe theatre productions, street theatre, cabaret, solo performance in Australia, UK and USA, been a folk and jazz singer, taking advantage of intensive clown training in the past 20 years or so. Now in my 70s, I'm also a performance poet and singer-songwriter, accompanying myself on ukulele.

My indie podcast comedy-drama "Am I Old Yet?" is going gangbusters (relatively speaking, it's a niche genre ok?). In it, I play about 12 different characters, along with fellow actors who volunteer to play with me.

I've become ace at dying old ladies, creepy grandmas, sweet old dears in commercials
