Standup Comedy
In 2005 Simon started performing stand-up comedy. Initially working the circuit on Tyneside and Wearside where he compered both The Horse’s Mouth in Newcastle and Mack’em Laugh in Sunderland. After taking a break to care for his terminally ill brother Simon returned to stand-up comedy, beginning to appear on stage as the characters he had previously talked about in his routine. He soon picked up representation by "Off The Kerb" one of the largest producers and managers of comedy in the UK.
In the summer of 2009 he moved to London to work the comedy circuit in the capital, as well as gigs around the United Kingdom, which included runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2009 and 2010. He has performed his Sold Out solo show in Newcastle.

Famous quotes containing the word comedy:
“The difference between tragedy and comedy is the difference between experience and intuition. In the experience we strive against every condition of our animal life: against death, against the frustration of ambition, against the instability of human love. In the intuition we trust the arduous eccentricities we’re born to, and see the oddness of a creature who has never got acclimatized to being created.”
—Christopher Fry (b. 1907)
