Spencer Brown

Spencer Brown

Spencer Brown is an English comedian, actor and writer from London. His style is surreal and contains elements of slapstick, absurdity and silliness. He also attempts to satirize the sincerity of popular culture and the idea of Englishness. In the press, he has been compared to Steve Martin, Jim Carrey, and members of the Marx Brothers, as well as British comedian Harry Hillwho.

He has co-hosted ITV2's "Lip Service" with Holly Willoughby, and has acted in a number of notable television comedies including "Nathan Barley", "Man to Man with Dean Learner", and "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace", as well as in London's West End. His stand up album, "Things I Don't Have To Do", was released in the summer of 2006. He appeared on the fifth season of the NBC TV show "Last Comic Standing". He was a member of the Cambridge Footlights troop that included Matthew Holness, Richard Ayoade, and John Oliver. He was also a founder member of the Alternative Alternative movement.
