SEAN PERCIVAL
Looking like the bass player in a heavy rock band, Midlander Sean Percival is a real in your face comedian, whose act is steeped in the traditions of the working men's clubs circuit as much as it is bang up to date with its upfront attitude. Described by one reviewer with a chip on her shoulder as ''a working man's revenge on the safe, middle-class, politically correct humour that has dominated comedy'', it is actually far better than that.
But what she did get right is that Percival's humour is ''not surreal, it's not wacky, it's just bloody funny
A festival regular and must-see, he performs at the Edinburgh, Glastonbury and Reading Festivals every season and is and also much demand as a scrpt writer, working regularly with likes of Johnny Vaughan for the Capital Radio group.
