Stan Stanley
RUNNER UP IN
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH OPEN MIKE AWARDS 2002
Since
becoming runner up of the Daily Telegraph Open Mike Award 2002 and making a big
impact at the Edinburgh Fringe 2003, Stan has become a firm favourite on the
comedy circuit. Stan is a warm and genial comic with brilliant timing, who delivers
smart, satirical observations that have more of an edge than their
light-hearted handling and delivery suggest.
In 2004 Stan
was invited to perform in the prestigious 'Britcom Show' at the Montreal Just
For Laughs Comedy Festival. His appearance was so successful that the festival
extended his stay. A prolific writer, Stan has written sketches for radio and
television including two series of 'Man Stroke Woman' for BBC 3 (which later
transferred to BBC 2), 'Blunder' Channel 4 and 'Parsons and Naylor's Big
Pullout section' BBC Radio 4. Stan is currently developing a radio sketch show
with his wife Nina Conti.
Now a
regular at the Edinburgh Festival and making numerous appearances at
Glastonbury, Stan knows how to entertain crowds large and small. Expect to hear
more from Stan in the years to come, a comedian who is this prolific in writing
and performing comedy is sure to go far.
