“a bouncy, bubbly stand-up star”
​The Telegraph
“One of the most delightful performers you’re ever likely to see”
GQ
“a joy… roars of laughter”
The Independent Visit website SAM AVERY wanted to be a rock star. It nearly happened.
Despite being signed up by BMG Records at the age of 17 (he had to resign from his beloved paper round), and subsequent tours with Motorhead and Ice T, the story soon took a familiar turn. Contracts were anulled, money was stolen and before he knew it he was back at the paper shop asking for his fluorescent bag back He had crap hair anyway.
Subsequent jobs (including a brief stint as a stockbroker) failed to excite him the way the smell of sweat and snakebite had and it wasn’t long before he turned to stand-up.
Friendly and enthusiastic, his observational style instantly puts audiences at ease allowing him to regale them with his tales of everyday life.
He has made radio appearances on BBC 5 Live, Radio 4, Radio 4 Extra, talkSPORT and BBC 6 Music, where he is a regular guest on the Steve Lamacq Roundtable show.
