Colin is a character actor probably best known for working with Ricky Gervais on Afterlife (Netflix) as dodgy showbiz agent Ken Otley - his improvised 'Taxi Driver the Musical' going viral online. He also worked with Gervais on Netflix's Derek as obnoxious handyman Geoff and in Life's Too Short (BBC2) as camp spiritual guru Bryan, also written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Branching out into more dramatic roles, Colin has recently appeared in Amazon drama A Very Royal Scandal alongside Micheal Sheen, in ITV's Code of Silence, and is soon to appear in Brassic, Amadeus and the latest series of Slow Horses. Colin is known for his many regular and guest television roles in Ghosts, the Flatshare, Black Ops, Being Human, Almost Never, Nurse and Murder in Successville. 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.
