Kevin Dewsbury
Kevin is from Cheshire, though often mistaken as being from Yorkshire due to his ridiculous northern accent. He performs all over the UK and overseas at clubs including The Comedy Store, Jongleurs, universities and festivals.
His material ranges from storytelling, observations on daily life and one liners. He also has a great ability to mimic most accents.
He has appeared at the Edinburgh Festival in sell out shows and has toured UK theatres as the support act for top comics Tim Vine and Lucy Porter.
Kevin is also an actor recently appearing as a Circus Clown in Martin Scorsese‘s recent film ‘Hugo‘.
His debut solo show ‘In…sane’ based on the real life events of suffering (then recovering from) a nervous breakdown will be performed at the Edinburgh Festival 2012
He has also been the support act for Michael Mcintyre, Omid Djalili and Russell Howard.
Kevin is currently starring as 'James' in the Stan James Bookmakers national TV advertising campaign.
