ITV's Show Me The Funny winner & champion hugger brings his trademark hyperactive and freewheeling charm back to Guildford. The Irish/Iranian/Geordie is a powerhouse of upbeat fun and frolics, and has been a hit at the Edinburgh Festival for nearly a decade. We sold out last time he was down, so book early!

The Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee 2010 is probably best known for his two years of co-hosting the Sony Gold Award winning Frank Skinner's Absolute Radio Show. He's appeared on Russell Howard's Good News (BBC Three) and was placed in the Top 10 of Dave's Funniest Joke of the Edinburgh Fringe. He was also nominated for the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Award, and his offbeat gags and songs make him one of the circuit's most popular musical comics.
