Hi, I'm a failed accountant and budding comedian, looking to spread my wings in the comedy world. I've been going for a year now and have had great fun, playing a number of venues around London. I'm loving it and I'm excited to see where this journey takes me.

I'm a 37 singleton living in South London. After failing my exams and being sacked as an accountant I realised I might not be as boring as I (and some of my friends) had assumed. This inspired me to re-evaluate my life and pursue a career in comedy. A mere ten years later I performed my first stand up gig reflecting on my metropolitan, liberal existence in a world suddenly turning hostile on my kind. My act is still developing but I guess I'd describe myself as a storyteller, reflecting on life's futility and constant disappointments from the point of view of a single, increasingly jaded, middle class guy, living in London - but with jokes!
