"The actor Kevin Eldon, as he is occasionally referred to in
self-mocking style, has been a reliable presence in both
leading and supporting roles in many successful comedies
over the last three decades. He started his career as a
character based stand-up comic, his most famous and
popular creation being political poet Paul Hamilton, before
subsequently collaborating with many of the top names in
British comedy and TV. Early work with Stewart Lee
and Richard Herring (most notably playing
dysfunctional hobbyist Simon Quinlack) led to subsequent
successful collaborations with Julia Davies (as put-
upon and not actually dead husband Terry in Nighty Night),
Armando Iannucci, Steve Coogan and Chris Morris. He has
appeared in almost every notable British comedy series in
some form of another, including roles in Brass Eye, Smack
the Pony, Spaced, Black Books, Saxondale, I'm Alan
Partridge, Nighty Night, Green Wing, Nathan Barley and
the seminal Big Train and Jam. He has worked with
Charlie Brooker for E4's five part horror thriller Dead Set and
more recently he was reunited with Charlie on How TV
Ruined Your Life and was also featured on both highly
acclaimed series of Stewert Lee's Comedy Vehicle.

His radio work has also been extensive, his versatile
characterization of his roles lending itself well to the audio
format, and he is a firm favourite on BBC Radio 4 as both
himself and in dramatized roles. His radio credits include
The Porlock Poisoner, Just A Minute, and
Shedtown, Poet's Tree a four part poetry spoof
programme for Radio 4, co-written and edited by Stewert
Lee, Fags, Mags and Bags, and Chain Reaction.
Most recently BBC Radio 4's North by
Northamptonshire alongside Penelope Wilton and Sheila
Hancock. Kevin has his own 4 part radio show produced by
David Tyler at Pozzitive for Radio 4 to go out at 11pm this
summer.

As a screen actor Kevin has had a wide range of success and
his biggest achievement to date was having the opportunity
to work alongside Martin Scorsese in the Oscar winning
Hugo in a show stealing scene with Sacha Baron
Cohen. Other credits Include Chris Morris' BAFTA award
winning Four Lions and the BAFTA nominated
Arthur Christmas. Other film credits include Hot
Fuzz and Tim Burtons Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory.

2012 has been a busy year already having filmed The
Wedding Video with Director Nigel Cole (Calendar
Girls/Made in Dagenham) alongside Harriet Walter and Robert
Webb. Also a leading role in Julia Davis' much awaited new
series 'Hunderby' for Sky as well as playing Servegood
in 'Bleak Old Shop of Stuff' for BBC2. Kevin hopes to
revive his role of Edery Molt in 'This is Jinsy' for Sky
later in the year as well as writing and performing new
characters for the BAFTA winning 'Harry & Paul'
sketch show for BBC2.

Kevin is currently writing a comedy fiction book for Faber
and Faber due to be published in 2013.

Praise for Kevin Eldon's 2010 show Titting About at The
Edinburgh Festival Fringe:

'His material is so original, well observed and meticulously
written, his mastery of it so complete... You simply will not
find a funnier show, anywhere.' ***** - The Daily
Telegraph

'...there's also a sense of release, an explosion of pent-up
energy, which - combined with the quality of the jokes -
makes this a welcome maiden performance from a veteran
debutant.' **** - The Guardian

'It's all here, deft comedy and scenes of mild controversy.
A mixed bag in the right way." **** - The Independent

'...Eldon has the audience eating out of the palm of his
hand...The pace and variety of his show is breathtaking.
Eldon has a genius for finding the humour in everything,
setting a standard that's hard for other comedians to
match.' - The Stage
