Nick Revell (BAFTA winner, Transatlantic Fury tour)

"He is what you might expect to see if you slammed Michael McIntyre, John Bishop and Mark Steel together in some comedic supercollider" (Chortle)

Nick Revell started performing stand-up in 1980, and was a regular at the Comedy Store from 1982, performed at Jongleurs from the day it opened, and was nominated for the Perrier in 1987.

From 1985 to 1992 he recorded six series of the Million Pound Radio Show with Andy Hamilton, which was named best radio comedy at the British Comedy Awards, and he also had his own radio sitcom that ran for two series.

But in 1992 he quit the circuit to concentrate on writing - only to return in 2002, making his Edinburgh comeback with the show Bare Bones the following year.

During this period he performed two solo theatre shows, The Ghost of John Belushi Flushed My Toilet and  Liberal Psychotic, which both transferred from successful runs at the Edinburgh Festival to Hampstead Theatre and then toured internationally. 

He continued to write extensively not only for TV and Radio but also two novels,  House of the Spirit Levels  and  The Night of the Toxic Ostrich, and a stage play,  Love and Other Fairy Tales  which was highly successful with critics and audiences alike. 

He also presented Radio 4's literature programme Open Book
