Bio
I'm currently doing paid weekend Opening, Middle and MCing slots for the likes of Jongleurs, Crack, Mirth Control, TED Talent, CKP, Cloud Comedy, Lastminute Comedy and headline slots in lots of smaller clubs. Plus I'm resident MC for Castle Comedy, The Totally Awesome Comedy Club and Cloud Comedy. Based in Milton Keynes I drive a gunmetal grey (or is it gray) Volkswagen that has, to date, never broken down. This, like a man's sex life when getting married, is subject to change.
I've supported (on tours, one off shows, through emotional break ups and in one instance a crippling addiction to candy floss) Shappi Khorsandi, Omid Djalili, Russell Kane, Stewart Francis, Lucy Porter, Adam Bloom, Nick Helm, Joel Dommett, Andi Osho, Tony Law, Sean Hughes plus a whole host of others (wow that is a lot of big name comics right there, there's a load more but really building my career off the back of someone else's reputation is not something I like doing. Seriously though look at all those big names).
Accomplishments (because sometimes people need to know how great you are) -
Hobgoblin Comedy Award Winner 2012 MCed the "BBC Introducing...." stage.Headlined the Boardmasters Comedy stage 2011 and 2012 Two sell out Edinburgh shows Luton Comedian of the Year 2011 Lastminute Comedian of the yeah finalist BTC Comedian of the year Finalist Burger eating winner 2003 while my dog was being kidnapped (though this might be the plot to Beethoven)
Quotes (Other people's opinions mean more to me than my own) -
"Great Stuff!" - Stewart Francis "Fantastic Set" - Adam Bloom "Lovely performance" - Lucy Porter "Amazing material" - Shappi Khorsandi"Talented" - Geoff Whiting "Chris Purchase was the highlight of the Boardmasters festival, just so so funny" - David Cook, Stage Manager.
