He formed his own comedy duo aged thirteen performing at schools and festivals across the north of England.

Whilst appearing in front of audiences daily there, he also performed at The Millennium Dome, entertained at Neil Innes' birthday party and co-created a large scale outdoor theatre show for National Street Arts. He then went to study acting at Bretton Hall University, North Yorkshire.

Since then he has continued to work as an actor, comedian, compere and juggler performing in cabarets, circuses, operas and plays, on cruise liners and at corporate events, music and street theatre festivals.
