Hello.

I was a financial journalist before I started doing something less boring instead: stand-up comedy. As a creative outlet -- and a drunken dare with a work colleague -- I signed up for the stand-up course at The City Lit back in the autumn of 2004.

My stand-up set is a mix of gags, observational routines and material drawn from real-life experiences and I have been performing since January 2005.

Thanks for visiting my site,
