Just three months he was asked to take part in his first Edinburgh festival run in the showcase Stand Up Scotland, a platform for the best new emerging talent from over the border.\nFrom there John went on to join the Fish Supper sketch troupe. Working alongside Miles Jupp (Ballymory) Julie Coomb (River city) and Colin Ramon.\nThe show ran for three consecutive years at the festival and at both the Stand clubs.

Alas this was not to be and it was around this point that John decided to focus his energy on his work as a stand up.In 2003 he completed another festival run with Scots Asian Comic Saj Chaudry in the show Mongrel Nation. A light hearted look at the racial diversity of his home country.\nIn the same year John won the Spike Milligan award for new talent in Scotland and was narrowly squeezed by in the national final where the judges took over an hour to come to a final decision.\nJohn has a disarming and friendly persona that chucks buckets of charm across the stage, which has made him popular across Scotland and the North of England. He now lives in Newcastle and can be found headlining and compeering all the regular comedy clubs from Manchester to Liverpool, back up to Newcastle and down the way to Sheffield and Leeds. More recently he has taken to after dinner work with great results.Johns material merges everyday story telling, mixed alongside accurate observations, with a cunning ability to fire out several quick fire one liners before the audience knows what's hit them. His subject matters cover everything from middle class dinner parties, Braveheart and on to observations on life in northern England. He admits he does have a slightly risqué edge and will push boundaries when he feels the time is right. So far he's never received a single complaint.
