Simon Clayton has been a stand up comic since the summer of 1995. On stage he talks about what he is male, fat, mixed race, married, balding and anything else that currently makes him laugh. Although not necessarily in that order. He performs all around the UK and is a regular visitor to Ireland. He first came to Ireland in 1992 to teach Improv to the likes of Joe Rooney, Ardal O'Hanlon and Kevin Glidea. He's also married to comedian and Seven2Ten favourite, Mary Bourke.

We talk to him about comedians using writers, young men with spiky haircuts "noticing things" and about the Dublin preoccupation with the North/South divide.
