A quirky comic and he stands up-but he's not just a stand up comedian. He tells engrossing and hilarious stories-but he's not just a story teller. He sings and plays surreal songs-but he's not just a singer. Maybe he is a phenomenon. A force of nature perhaps. Even an act of cod. "A visionary/warbler from Trunch" (Daily Telegraph) "Best taken with a grain of salt" (Radio Times)
