He enjoyed success as a copywriter, creative writer and editor, highlights include penning a radio drama on Radio 4 and many years of writing excruciating puns on the Sunday People sports page.Seven years on from his second go at comedy, his one-line gags and puns are alwsus well received on the open-mic circuit.
