Martin is firmly established as a stand-up on the major comedy circuit and he is the perfect compere on that circuit.  He writes all his own standup material and has a reputation as a writer for TV and for many other comedy performers…his other credits include 60 scripts for GMTV’s ‘Professor Bubble’ / BBC and Channel 4.

Now also receiving acknowledgement as a playwright, amongst Martin’s current projects is a ‘trilogy of plays with a British flavour and Union Jack colours’ - ‘Red Men’, produced by Theatre West, Bristol - ‘White Van Man’, produced at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and ‘Blue Girl’ is nearing production stage.  He is developing other TV scripts and he has produced the book and lyrics for a new ‘pop’ musical.  A recent corporate project had him devise, script, cast and direct 2 conference events, held over several days each, for a major bank and corporation.

When ‘White Van Man’ was produced at Edinburgh it was a triple triumph for Martin, appearing for the first time at the Fringe as a stand-up (writing and performing in ‘The Bootlegs’) and the ‘Big & Daft Christmas Show’ was his directorial debut there.   A few years previously Martin won a ‘First’ at Edinburgh with a co-written piece. 

Martin started as child actor, appearing in several films and continues to regularly appear in commercials and corporate films ranging from boots to banks to buses to beer, including blanket coverage in the UK in a series of TV, Radio and Magazine advertisements for the Governmental Central Office of Information and ‘Test the Nation’. A regular presenter on Channel 4’s ‘Collectors’ Lot’ over two years he also played an on-going (periodic) character in the Sky TV soap ‘Dream Team’.  

Martin learned the art of magic and conjuring which produced his first comedy success, introducing audiences to a range of comedic characters who performed (apparently) incompetent magic.  Combined this with his Directing skills, Martin is regularly called upon to direct and advise comedy magic performers for stage and TV.

A family history in showbiz including mother, father, brother and sister, made it inevitable that Martin would do something in the business, it just wasn't anticipated that he would do so much!
