Adrian Poynton began his career as a comedian by making the finals of the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Award 1999 and Hackney Empire New Act Of The Year 2001. He won a Fringe First award in 2003 for his play based on Graham Chapman's life, A Very Naughty Boy.

In 2011, he created hite Van Man, which had the most-watched launch episode for a sitcom on BBC Three. It was dropped after two series, but picked up by America's ABC network for a remake called Family Tools.

An affable demeanour driven by a passion enthused delivery, Poynton creates a riveting set while avoiding the perils of intimidation or brow-beating polemics or other acts meeting his stature. Always a joy

Saw this guy last night in Putney and would have been happy to watch just him. Haven't laughed that hard at a comic in ages. Funny, funny man.

This guy is awesome, made me a regular at the Cellar Bar (Bracknell), being a compere. Brilliant banter with the audience

Loved it! Made me laugh so hard drink came out my nose. When did he get so good? Had seen him before and thought he was ok but saw him last week and he has just got sooooooo good

One of the best comics i have ever seem. Refuses to go for the easy kind of gags so many others do. And boy does he have love for his crowd. You can't help but feel happy in his company. Will see him again!

Saw him do an amazing show in Plymouth when everything was against a performer doing well but he was just superb. Improv and banter at its best

Bren, May 2006

Performed in front of a pathetic turn out at the Barbican Theatre Plymouth (11 people) still made me laugh. Very quick. Seemed to be more at home involved in banter with the audience

Andy, May 2006

One of the best comedy storytellers i have ever seen.
