Les is a highly accomplished comedy writer and performer whose TV and radio writing credits include: 'Friday/Sunday Night Project', 'My Family', '8 out of 10 Cats', 'The Kevin Bishop Show' and 'Mr and Mrs'.
Les began his career path as an outstanding and promising mathematician. At University, however, he spent almost the entire time in the drama department culminating in a few surreal performances at the Edinburgh Fringe. Mathematics went out the window with the lure of bearing your soul to complete strangers on the comedy circuit. His eclectic brew includes a bit of yarn-spinning about the pitfalls of trigonometry. With an eye for the surreal he delivers ruthlessly funny observational comedy with great wit and style. His subjects include poignant childhood disappointments to behavioral traits of eccentric grandparents.
