Colin is also known in live comedy as one of the countries best character comedians. His live shows have received great critical acclaim and a loyal following. His hit Carnival of Monsters trilogy led to two Radio 4 series and his beloved character has-been actress Anna Mann has a huge cult following. Colin's most recent live show 'Colin', a show where he finally played himself telling the funny and moving story of his Nottingham upbringing, is being adapted into a family sitcom, with Colin naturally playing the lead.
