ActorComedian

Born and bred in London's East End, Ricky tried his hand as a hairdresser and a boxer before becoming an actor/writer/comedian and stalwart of the UK comedy circuit and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Illiterate until he was in his early thirties, he is now a prolific, award-winning writer.

He wrote and starred in two short films. The theatrically-released PUNCH won him the prestigious Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival; and his Channel 4 film HUNGRY won him Best Actor Award at the Brest Film Festival. He appeared in Guy Ritchie's movie REVOLVER and in documentary director Clive Gordon's feature debut CARGO.

Ricky was well-reviewed for his appearances in the BBC2 comedy series 'ORRIBLE. And his character Bulla was not only featured on Channel 4's THE 11 O'CLOCK SHOW but was interviewed on BBC TV by one of Bulla's biggest fans - the one-and-only chat show host Michael Parkinson.

Ricky can currently be seen performing live with his one-man show in theatres around the UK as well as at corporate events.

He voiced the part of Yangus for best-selling video game DRAGON QUEST, presented the critically-acclaimed documentary F*** OFF I'M FAT for BBC TV.
