Nathanial Tapley

Nathanial is a great comedy actor with a clear clean crisp well spoken comedy voice.

Natt is an award winning writer and performer whose credits include the first ever sketch show devised for 2-6 year olds, “Gigglebiz” (Cbeebies), Channel 4’s topical comedy show “Tonightly” and “My Lighthouse” (BBC Radio 2), a play which won the Imagine Radio Drama competition. He currently contributes to the Spectator Arts Blog and can be seen moonlighting as his fantastic comic creation Sir Ian Bowler MP rallying against political correctness and upholding the righteous values of The Daily Mail.

‘His veins throb and his eyes bulge as he harrumphs his way through his personal manifesto against political correctness. He’s imperialistic, homophobic and sexist – and very, very funny. The comically exaggerated opinions crystalise into wonderful one-liners, including a gag about his ‘handicapped boy’ which you’ll definitely remember for a long time to come… A powerhouse performance, and funny with it.’ Chortle
