Stand Up Comedy

Lou cut his stand up teeth on the Scottish circuit following a series of early gigs at the amazing Stand Comedy Club whilst living in Edinburgh.

Gigging

After moving back to England he performed all over the UK, winning the Jongleurs Comedy Callback competition along the way (with some guy called Frank Skinner as the head judge). He continued to perform in venues big and small, including in front of a crowd of 1000 metal heads at the Download Festival.
