Description
ED GAMBLE
Ed is one of the finest gag writers and storytellers on the circuit today. A comic at the absolute peak of his powers, he is a regular on Mock the Week, recently made his debut appearance on Live at the Apollo and won series 9 of Taskmaster!
He has co-written and appeared in four series of Greg Davies’s Man Down, along with appearing on Drunk History, Dave’s One Night Stand and Sweat the Small Stuff. Ed is also one of a handful of British comedians who have performed stand-up on the US TV show Conan. Ed has appeared on Russell Howard’s Good News as both a solo stand up and alongside Ray Peacock as part of the double-act Peacock & Gamble. Ed and Ray remain the only act to have made a return appearance on the show.
On stage, Ed is currently on tour with his latest show Mammoth, which sold out the entire run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017 including extra shows added every weekend. This is his largest nationwide tour to date, including three nights at Leicester Square Theatre. Ed previously won a Chortle Award in 2014 for Best Compere and has provided national tour support for Greg Davies’ tours in 2017, 2013, and 2012 as well as tour support for Russell Kane and Chris Addison. Basically, he's a bit bloody good.
