    • Quotes
      I was quite a shy boy. Growing up in Middlesbrough, I felt a bit of an outsider. My three elder brothers are funny and boisterous and I was in awe of them. I felt like an appendage. It's probably the curse of being a younger kid. I've seen some become the loudest because they fight for their place, and others retreat to the fringes. I was in the latter group.

      Known to have an absurd comic mind and to be a master at improvisation
