Mick Ferry

Mick Ferry is a master of the dark arts. There is no subject too solemn, no insight too mournful, no theory too surreal.

Mick started his career back in 1998 and quickly made it to the finals of Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny competition.

The early days of his career saw Mick form one third of the bizarre comedy trio Dr Strangehair performing sketches and offbeat humour littered with pop culture references.

The trio split to focus on solo careers and Mick has since been invited to perform with Johnny Vegas, Sean Lock, Peter Kay, Al Murray and Steve Coogan.

Mick Ferry is a great bear of a man and knows how to handle himself on stage. Not afraid of talking with the audience, he is widely recognised as one of the finest comperes and warm up men in the country.

Mick is not afraid of anything or anyone, except perhaps his daughter's friends. But even that is not enough to stop his razor sharp observations.

Mick has written and performed a sketch show for Radio 4 entitled Turn Left at the Pier, based in the glitzy showbiz world of Blackpool.

He has also appeared on BBC Radio GMR and BBC7 and hosted his own show on the North West's Revolution 92.6.

Not just a comedian, Mick has acted in theatre in Fire Salad, a play written by Tony Burgess.

If you don't think Mick Ferry is surreal enough for you, check out Mick's Missions on the rest of the interweb where he gets members of the public to race with their trousers round their ankles, gone skateboarding with emos and squeezed 25 people into a van, all in the name of comedy.
