    Glad some of you are/have/had checked hiom out.

    I saw him live on the Leeds comedy circuit in the late 90s. He was mixing comedy with poetry.

    I remember one of his gags:

    'As i was coming here tonight, I had to ask directions from a guy at the top[ of the car park, who was dressed in a big hat, moustache and carrying a long sheaf. I thought to myself: he's got a cavalier attitude!'
