Jamie Gosney

The comedy of Jamie Gosney springs from his general confusion with life and his irritation that he ought to know better. Jamie's no stranger to the theatre, as his career path has lurched from being a child actor in a musical double act with his father Barrie Gosney (who went on to work with Harry Hill and Al Murray); via gaining a LAMDA qualification in Stage Management & Technical Theatre; touring as sound engineer with Dolly Parton, Jackson Five and Donna Summer; and working as illusion engineer with magician Doug Henning. Following this, he was No1 Sound Engineer on a number of west end shows including Time and Les Misrables, a recording studio owner and sound system designer. A tv producer/director friend challenged Jamie to try stand up comedy. Several open mic nights convinced him he wanted to take comedy seriously, so he enrolled on Susan Murray & Simon Fox's Stand-Up course. Since completing this he has been learning his craft and building his experience on a large number of small stages around the country. His style is cheeky and mostly self-deprecating, although he can become entertainingly enraged about foolish public figures and pettiness. Jamie is a promising newbie with an affable persona and an engaging style Long-established comedian Susan Murray Jamie is a new comedian with a warm style and a keen eye for the absurd Comedian Simon Fox I had no idea he was so new to stand-up ' his material, confidence and easy style would suggest he's been doing this for years Veteran comedian and tv presenter Mark Felgate '@RAFtrained: @jamiegosney regular at Brixham comedy night and last night was best line up to date by far.
