Tim is a hugely popular performer around the world and leapt into the British comedy scene in 2005 when he won the Perrier Best Newcomer award at the Fringe. He was also in the line-up of generous performers who featured in WSPA's Stand up for Animals comedy night in London last year, organised by writer and comedian Robin Ince.
