Funnier than Sylvia Plath, younger than the Iliad, sexier than Donald Trump... My career spans over three jokes. I am a British stand-up who came to Italy for one year twenty years ago. I enjoy acting, stand-upping, and writing and performing sketches, and currently run Farm Comedy, Rome's only English Open Mic comedy show
Too funny
Fested (Fested), 2020
Special mention for peculiarity and tight British humour
Sul Palco (Various), 2019
Honoured to work with you.
Teleglobal (Etienne Rudel), Friday 17th June 2016
I was sold on Michael the first time I saw him.
Oh Lockdown, How we laughed (Paula Ferrari), January 2021
You're probably the only comedian on the open mic circuit (and one of the few comedians period in the UK) I'd pay to see/watch on stage. You're ridiculously funny. Ridiculously funny. Your edgy, 'I don't give a shit', borderline offence humour is hilarious! SO refreshing from the usual woke, liberal, soft, safe, boring jokes you get 99% of the time in comedy today, especially in the UK.
