Will Adamsdale

Will Adamsdale (born 1974 in Hereford) is an English actor. Adamsdale was educated at Eton College. In 2004, he starred in a self-penned one man show called "Jackson's Way" at the Edinburgh Fringe. The intended run for the production was ten days, before the intervention of cult comedian Stewart Lee. Lee was so impressed by Adamsdale's work that he reportedly threw his full support behind "Jackson's Way", lobbying for an extension of the run and using his clout within the industry to garner notice from critics and award committees. Adamsdale secured the Perrier Comedy Award for comedy.

Adamsdale has since created two new shows: "The Receipt" and "The Human Computer". "The Receipt", a collaboration with sonic artist Chris Branch, used innovative sound effects to punctuate a story about the little man in the big city. It ran at the Edinburgh Fringe 2006, winning a Fringe First and a Total Theatre Award. It subsequently toured nationally, and internationally to the Melbourne Comedy Festival and 59E59 Theatres in New York.

In "The Human Computer", Adamsdale, a self-confessed techno-phobe, explored the world of computers. The show premiered in the new Traverse 3 venue at the Edinburgh Fringe 2007.
