Biography
Hello.

What tends to happen with these biographies is that the act writes them in the third person and makes out that someone else has written it. In fact, if you read a lot of biographies, you'll notice that people are always "exploding" or "bursting" on to the comedy scene. Well, I did none of that. I got a 5 minute open spot, and it kind of went from there. Before I did a gig on the "comedy scene", I used to gig in pubs where I would do an hour at a time. They were fun days. 

In the end I gigged in Manchester, which is where Lee Martin became physically attracted to me. When I told him I wasn't that way inclined, he signed me up so I could be one of his acts. Being a lazy person, the idea of never having to ring around for gigs appealed, so I bit the bullet, went down on him and away we went. I was surprised by his cleanliness. 
So here I am, a funny man with funny jokes.

If you need to know anymore than this, you really need to examine your life.
