This is the face Ray does when he is behind you…
A prolific writer and comic performer, Ray Peacock is one of the most popular comperes, headline performers and TV warm up acts ON EARTH.
In 2007 Ray began presenting THE RAY PEACOCK PODCAST on iTunes, alongside Raji James and Ed Gamble, and it was pretty brilliant. Then, despite it running for four series’ and being incredible and doing all live show versions of it, in December 2008 he stopped it for a bit.
In 2009 The PEACOCK & GAMBLE PODCAST was launched, which Ray co-hosts with Ed Gamble. Released every Monday, it continues to win popular and critical acclaim and is considered by most people who listen to it to be the BEST EVER PODCAST OF ALL TIME. Indeed the posh Guardian newspaper who know about all that arty shit and that, said it was “35 minutes of pure gold”.
