Biography
Comedian from St.Helens who used to take a potter's wheel on stage and make pots while telling jokes. Man, that's some gimmick. Moved on to Shooting Stars, annoying guest punditry duties on a million nostalgia shows (though we must give him credit for sending himself up on that "Fast Show" thing) and thence to semi-straight acting, particularly in Paul Whitehouse's Happiness and the Beeb's multi-squillion-quid dramatisation of Bleak House. He's also starred in the low-key sitcom Ideal and hosted a Friday-night light entertainment show for Channel 4 called 18 Stone of Idiot (that's 252 pounds for our American readers).
Trivia
He won The Weakest Link's comedians special.
Pre-fame, he was once a contestant on Win, Lose or Draw, though we're not sure whether he won or not.
He is the co-owner of a "glamping" site in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire. Its creation was the subject of a Channel 4 documentary series, Johnny Vegas: Carry on Glamping.
Johnny Vegas isn't his real name, obviously. It's Michael Pennington.
