About Me

I'm 57 and live in Glasgow. After leaving Strathclyde University with a Geology degree in 1983, I’ve worked in the Ground Investigation industry throughout the UK. At present I’m semi-retired.

In 2008, I did a Stand-Up Comedy course at Strathclyde University and throughout 2008 and 2009 I performed in several small comedy venues in Glasgow and Edinburgh. I attended a group of four Acting courses at Strathclyde University from 2009 to 2010. Through an audition for Giffnock Theatre Players (GTP) in 2011, I landed the part of Scanlon in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Since then, I’ve performed in several GTP productions including: After The Dance, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, The Steamie, Arsenic and Old Lace, Calendar Girls, Sailmaker and Twelfth Night. When not performing in GTP productions I’ve helped backstage – props, set building, scene changer, stage management. In 2011, I acted in a two-hander short Cardonald College student film, Technologically Challenged and performed in a ‘gothic’ musical, When The Clown Laughs.
