Tell Us about: 

Your latest stand up show: 

I am a comedian that critics have described as “daft” and “intense” and “incomprehensible” but I think I’m only one of those things. The show is a fun, ridiculous ride through a rodeo of absurdity.

Your favourite joke you have created: 

The only thing coming to my mind is a thought I had the other day: If I have “mommy issues” then how could we have shared a bed for over 35 amazing years? 

Though I’m not sure if that’s a joke…

Your favourite venue to perform at: 

Whichever one allows me inside. Also, Bill Murray (Angel Comedy) in London. Monkey Barrel at Ed Fringe. 

The joke that was the longest to write and why? 

I have a “joke” where I wear a lot of hats (the show IS good) and it took me a long time to figure out that I could add more hats. I don’t know why. If you listen closely you can hear my ancestors screaming in agony over the path I chose in life. 

Comedy hero: 

Steve Martin 

Dream venue to play at: 

Wembley. No Microphone. 

Describe the feeling you get when you walk on stage to do a show: 

Sometimes anxiety. Sometimes excitement. Two sides of the same coin.

The hardest joke to perform and why: 

Hats. Too many. 

Essential items you always take on tour with you? 

Turtlenecks. CDs to sign after the show. Hats. 

Describe your fans in three words: 

Intelligent. Polite. Non-existent. 

What we can look forward to from you this year: 

I’m going on tour! To Edinburgh, then Manchester, then Leeds. Then to Paris and Amsterdam, then over to Bristol and Brighton with a big show at The Moth Club in London in the middle. I will also be at The Edinburgh Fringe again this August with my variety show called Piggy Time and also a new WIP show. I can’t wait. Also, I may buy more hats! Stay tuned!!! 

Mr Chonkers on tour begins in February 2025 – Tickets can be found here
