The Scarecrow is a complete unknown in the world and loves every moment of it. From a young age, he has been a ‘gamer’ but his first love has been comedy. Unfortunately, his ability for comedy can be likened to a train de-railing and crashing into a village of orphans. Disheartened by his inability, he finished school and started work in the amazing world of sheet metal
He can be usually found at work, listening to podcast from shows the world over. On weekends, he has been known to go out drinking with friends, smoking enough to have Phillip Morris consider a sponsorship and writing down inane conversations to be used on the Podcast. During his hour long trips to and from work, he can be recognised as the scruffy guy in the carriage, asleep.
His influences are mostly Tony Martin and the Get This radio program along with his own warped sense of humour that was shaped by parents who showed him Goodies and Monty Python episodes late on Friday nights. At the age of 12, they exposed him to the many LPs of Billy Connolly that had been stashed away. After this, things would never be the same.
He is kept sane by making his poor fiancée listen to audio grabs of sound effects and having her proof read his sketch scripts. There is a cat called Yahtzee that resides in their apartment but to say he owns the cat is to be delusional.
