grantsharkey.comBio
New to the land of stand up comedy in it's own right, GS is not a stranger to goofing around on stage even if it was in the context of playing bass and singing in the band Toupé.
Taking the first step out on to the comedy stage in Aug 2006 it became apparent to him that he was going to be a slower comic than the usual quickfire guys. Ideas, absurdities and the illogic of the world drive Grant to try an challenge people.
A review of GS:
Compelling and funny, it is hard not to warm to him despite his harsh, cutting observations on pretty much everyone! Coming on like the afterbirth of Bill Hicks twisted love child with Frank Zappa, Grant Sharkey provokes you, pokes fun at you and teases you to fight back (or at least go home and rethink your life!). The reason he gets away with it is due mainly to his unique delivery and his fallible tendency to drift into a loveable Tommy Cooper style idiot!
Genius or Idiot? Gendiot I suppose!

About me:
GRANTSHARKEY.COM NOW ONLINEGrantSharkey.Com has a nice new make over and now looks like a chip shop girl who's made it on to This Morning for the free application of slap and 'new look' stylings of a gay man who knows to much about dresses.
Here you can DELIGHT at the podcasts on FTW? Radio - including Karl and I talking about Toupé related things.
You can DELVE into my writings and books, including the serialisation of my novel Belly Laughs starting on November 12th.
And you can DRIBBLE over posts on my blog about the 'interesting' things that happen in life as I try to sell a sitcom, a novel and myself to desperate old judges who'll pay anything for a decent handjob (still trying).
