London Comedy Award Nomination Terry Alderton: 'The Southend comic's trademark tic is to turn upstage and discuss his show's progress with the voices inside his head. Have I alienated the crowd? Should I not have said that? It's a neat device, which provides meta-theatrical laughs, as well as colouring Alderton's hyperactive, shape-shifting standup with a shade of emotional and mental collapse... Alderton at his best is unstable and deliciously unexpected.'

Terry is an Essex lad with a successful background acting and presenting and more surreally, as a goalkeeper for Southend United. He has recently returned to stand-up, and in 1999 was nominated for the Perrier Award, however he continues to present several video shows on Virgin Media Sport. He is married to former page three model Dee Ivens, and made his West-End debut in 2010 at the Bloomsbury Theatre with his one-man show. He is now busy jetting up and down the UK until early June with his 2012 tour, but is well-versed in international comedy having played Melbourne, New Zealand and India at their various festivals, and let’s not forget the all-important Edinburgh where the Perrier team first tracked him down.
