His first impression was of Billy Bunter when he was about 6 to amuse his school pals but his mother tried to stop him as she thought it was rude. He left school. having failed his 11+,with ambitions to be a footballer or journalist but after dead end jobs as a despatch clerk and dress salesman he took his talent for mimicry to the Ponderosa Club in Manchester and earned £30 in his first week as a pro. He's always been one for a quiet life and doesn't like parties or walking into a crowded room
