A professional comedian since 1969, he claims to be the only professional act working from a wheelchair, the result of polio he contracted at the age of four.

He has toured with Bernard Manning and is a regular at working men's clubs and at Jongleurs. He has performed four consecutive summer seasons at Butlins.

What planet are some of you on the comic is in his seventies, in a chair for most of his life , i have seen so many standing ovations i have lost count first seeing him when i was 16yr i am now 51, It would not suporize me that you were the very folk that rang the 70 talent show New faces and siad i work with crippels all day long i dont need to see them on my TV when i get home.Or the guy that rang a venue and reported they saw gerrard walking these are the rascite bigorts not Tony Gerrard His charity work is endless and i wish him well for many years to come

So many of you, including your reviewer, have missed the point completely. Gerrad is Jewish for fucks sake and lives in a wheelchair which makes him able to view bigotry and discrimination far better than any white, middle class Guardian reader, student or bedwetting Liberal. No subject matter is out of bounds and the fact is that Gerrad asks genuine questions of both himself and the audience from the background of a time when intolerance was the norm and racism was rife. Just like Frankie Boyle the whole point is to use the offensiveness to make people question the whole subject of taboos and make us laugh at the same time.

Foul mouthed and irritating. There was nothing funny about this guy. Yes he pushed the boundaries and for the first 10 mins it was passable humour then it turned into racism and bigotry.

The guy is brilliant, there only jokes, don't get presious about it everyone i know laughs at this stuff, cos it's FUNNY

Davey Quantrill, August 2009

There is nothing obnoxious about his act. Refreshing to see/hear a comedian really push the boundaries and not be offensive. His delivery is brilliant and he went down a storm. a perfect antidote to political correctness See him for yourself he's hilarious.

If you're nasty foul mouthed bigot you'll love this guy, everyone else should avoid him. The sooner 'comedians' like this are no longer on the circuit the better.

Andrew Lang, August 2008

This guy is awful.

Terry Fleming, August 2008

This guy is sooo NOT funny and the person who told him is should be lined up and shot! Supposedly headlined at Jongleurs but died a death on stage and kept repeating the jokes like we hadn't got them the first time when in fact everybody got them, they just weren't funny.
