Along with my best mate Tom, I’ve been involved in Mr. Thing since it’s inception in 2016. From humble beginnings in a pub theatre, it quickly grew into a silly tech heavy, ‘TV show within a show’ and is constantly evolving. Currently featuring a Puppet barman, a House Band, a ping pong ball firing bottom and a radio controlled Kevin Bacon, I’m excited to see what’s next!
As co-host I run the show from our custom built desk, triggering samples and sound effects, controlling buzzers, videos, remote cameras and much more.
We’ve performed over 100 shows, everywhere from Soho Theatre and Edinburgh Fringe to Music Festivals and even the middle of the ocean on Virgin’s swankiest cruise ship.

Backing him on jingles and other sound effects, with his cameras mischievously roaming the audience, is second banana Owen Visser, considerably more than just the laptop guy.
