Tank was born in The West Country at the age of 0. He is one of twins – not identical though, because his sister’s got a beard! He came from a poor background and even had to wear one of his sisters old dresses to school on one occasion. Imagine his total surprise when he realised that his teacher was wearing the same dress! No one could tell who was more embarrassed, Tank or Mr Jones! His first introduction to comedy was when he was invited to give an after-dinner speech at the National Psychics Association in Bournemouth. It was a strange night. Half the audience left because they didn’t like the jokes he was about to tell! 1983 was a year that saw many changes, particularly to the Irrigation System of Chiles Inland Rice-Paddies. But that’s another story... He was encouraged into show business by his Great Grandfather, who was one of Britain’s top psychics, Seymour Sherman. Able to predict the future, his greatest feat was when he announced to the world’s press the minute, to the hour, to the day, to the month, to the year, when he would die! (Apparently the judge told him!) Tanks powers let him down one night when he suffered an asthma attack! He was beaten up by ten asthmatics! The police didn’t understand why he hadn’t heard them coming?! In 1997, TANK spent a lot of money on a beautiful SALT WATER AQUARIUM at his home. He purchased half a dozen very rare PATAGONIAN JELLY FISH to grace the beautiful glass tank, but the very next morning TANK was in tears. Overnight, all the jelly fish had set!

Tragedy also struck his family on the 100th birthday of his Great Gran Freda. She died at her birthday party, Half way through the bumps! I hope this lot of waffle shows you the type of person Tank is. With a penchant for the stupid/daft jokes in life, things came to a head in July 1999, when he appeared in front of millions on the Les Dennis ITV talent show …. GIVE YOUR MATE A BREAK.………….He won!!! Tank is happy performing to a crowd that is out for a laugh, and can turn his hand to all audiences. He appeared at SHOWCALL SHOWCASE in LEICESTER , 2004 and SHOWCALL SHOWCASE in PRESTON , 2006 where he received great reviews and both times picked up the ‘Act of the day’ votes for the EXPERTS CHOICE. Tank has also appeared on Sky TV entertainment shows, THE NEW VARIETY SHOW and LAUGH A MINUTE and also had his own 1 hour show ‘A MAN AND HIS BAT’ featured on another Sky TV comedy show, ‘IN THE CLUB’ Tank has made guest appearances on the Xmas DVD’s ‘JETHRO IN CLOUD CUCKOO LAND’ and ‘JETHRO - FROM THE MADHOUSE’ (this one includes the out-take where TANK tells a joke and JETHRO spurts Coffee out of his nose)!! He has also appeared several times on Carlton TV’s SOCCERNIGHT and is a firm favourite at Sportsman's Dinners and major corporate events. 2008 sees Tank returning to the BABBACOMBE THEATRE in Devon, where he is part of the great cast in the show - LOVE IS … VARIETY ! (Don’t miss this great opportunity to watch TANK perform some of the worst dancing you will see!!!) (PS - can I thank you if you have read to this point. Why not keep going?) So with possibly a sprinkling of magic, poetry, a song and sometimes the most ridiculous Quiz Show you could ever be present at, Tank will have ‘em rolling in the aisles and shouting for more. Tank has now embarked on the next stage of his career with visits to Cruise Ships in the Mediterranean and is already adding 2009 dates for his diary. SHIP AHOY - SPLICE THE MAIN BRACE ! With many performances under his belt, he has brought his own kind of humour to the West Country. Always highly praised – and we could bore you here with reviews from bookers…. but we lost both bits of paper!
