Biography

Alan's father, a City accountant, brought up Alan, his younger sister and older brother, mostly on his own in a detached house in Loughton, Essex, following the death of his mother. He was frequently in trouble at Bancroft's school in Woodford Green.

Five months after he left college, he was earning his living on the comedy circuit, and secured his first TV slot within six months.

An instant favourite! Wow!

Laura, April 2002

My 'Urban Trauma' is almost worn out! Love him to bits

Susan, April 2002

He is undoubtedly one of the best British stand up comedians of all time. It would be a criminal act for anyone who likes him as an actor not to see him live.

Josh, March 2002

Just adore him. I'm too old to seduce him, but maybe he would like to be adopted.

Grandma Linda, March 2002

I watch Jonathan Creek here in the US, truly envious of people who get to see Alan live. Rather dishy, could watch him act forever.

Louise

If you Brits have grown tired of him - please send him over to us in the States. We love him. His wit and charm will always be appreciated here.
