On television Mike is probably currently best known as the co-star of BBC Wales’ hit comedy series ‘Tourist Trap’, playing the part of Wyn, the self-styled ‘Mr Wales’. Mike has also acted in comedies such as BBC 1’s ‘Warren’, BBC 2’s ‘Josh’, Dave’s ‘Ultimate Worrier’ and ‘Eat your Heart Out’, and BBC NI’s ‘Soft Border Patrol’. Putting his ex-sportsman hat on, Mike is also a regular contributor on BBC Wales’ ‘Six Nations Special’ and ‘Scrum V’. Early 2019 will see Mike and co-star John Rutledge bring ‘The Unexplainers’ from radio to the TV screen for the first time, following a series commission by the BBC earlier this year.

Lastly, and while he may be blowing his own trumpet, Mike’s pretty sure he’s the only comedy performer, writer & actor in the world who as well as being an ex-professional rugby player, coach and PE teacher has also been a finalist in the European Elvis Tribute Act Championship. Honestly.
