LIL BIO
Kev Mud made a blistering start to his stand up career by either winning or getting to the finals of most national competitions in his first year. So it's no surprise that by year three, he was booked to play on the main comedy stage at Glastonbury, and been the subject of full page articles in the national press.
Kev is “one to watch” (Chortle) and “one of the best new acts in the last 20 years” (Spiky Mike, Funhouse Comedy). He brings his experiences as a homeless ex-addict to a performance that has been described as “honest, charming and humorous” (British Comedy Guide), by delivering his stories and cleverly written pieces “with charm and wit” (Chortle).
In his first 3 years Kev has shared the stage with the likes of Frankie Boyle, Sara Pascoe, Russell Howard, Ed Gamble, Kiri Pritchard McClean, Al Murray and Shaparak Khorsandi, as well as appearing on TV alongside Mark Steel, Paul Foot, Josh Pugh and Ian Stone.
