Biography:
Imagine if Harry Potter was a Canadian non-wizard who
writes very funny jokes with his big hands, thats Tony
Law (Sean Lock).
Since winning the Glastonbury New Act competition
Canadian comedian Tony Law has become one of the most
revered stand-ups on the circuit, winning the acclaim of both
the critics and his peers. As testament to this Tony was
honoured with the prestigious Comics' Choice "Piece-of-
Wood" Award at the 2005 Melbourne Comedy Festival.
The cheerfully absurd humour that Law knocks around into a
jazzy, freeform shape has endeared him to both live and TV
audiences in the UK and abroad. Hes a regular face at the
UKs biggest comedy clubs, and a favourite at the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
On television, Tony was the series team captain on Channel
4's panel-show Does Doug Know and his acting credits
include Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle and CBBC's
Scoop.
In Spring 2009 Tony went on his first-ever national solo tour,
with a second leg added in the Autumn. In addition to this
Tony supported Stewart Lee on his 2010 tour and that August
returned to Edinburgh after a 2 year absence with critically
acclaimed new show Mr Tony's Brainporium.
He has since worked on an Objective Productions comedy
improvisation pilot for Dave and starred on Russell
Howard's Good News, So This Is Christmas and
Never Mind The Buzzcocks. You might also have
recognised him as King Arthur in Sky's big commercial
campaign in 2011.
Tony returned triumphant from 2011's Edinburgh Fringe
where he won the Amused Moose Laughter Award and
accumulated a plethora of 4* and 5* reviews with Go Mr
Tony Go!. He has since toured the country with the show
and has been nominated for 'Best Show' at Dave's Leicester
Comedy Festival and was crowned 'Best Breakthrough' at the
2012 Chortle Awards.
