(Her parents had been unsuccessful actors). Instead he became a waiter. Whilst working at The Ritz, he toyed with entering the priesthood. However, his career took a different turn in 1986. One night, after his shift, he went to open mike night at the Comedy Store. He caught the stand up bug but had little success until one night, dispirited, he performed with a surly, disinterested stance. It was a hit and became his trademark. In 1991 he won the British Comedy Award for Best Stage Newcomer and the following year gained his first TV show. His most recent show, Lead Balloon is a sitcom loosely based on his own life. His stage persona is extremely deadpan and sardonical and he's always dressed in a suit. He won Celebrity Big Brother in 2001.
