Glenn Moore, comedian.

Glenn Moore, comedian.

My guest today is an English comedian, actor and one of the most prolific joke writers in the UK. He first made a room laugh as a young child at his aunt’s wedding, when, during the ceremonial speeches, the other guests overheard him speaking to his mother.


While a student at the University of Sheffield he again became an accidental stand-up when, at the last minute, he filled in for the compere at a comedy event. Since then he has delighted audiences with his rapid fire joke-telling, both at the Edinburgh Festival, where he has been nominated for the 'Best Show' Comedy Award, and on television as a regular panellist on BBC's Mock The Week, ITV's The Stand Up Sketch Show, and most recently, the new US series The Great American Joke-Off.


My guest is also a presenter on BBC's videogames TV show and podcast ‘Press X To Continue’ – for which he has completed more than a hundred games every year since 2020.
