		His live performances are the stuff of legend and with his trademark potter's wheel and Butlin's-style singalongs, Johnny can rightly claim to be the first, and probably the only, performer to mix live pottery with extreme heart-wrenching pathos.
		Since that seminal Edinburgh show in 1997, Johnny has successfully completed two sell-out UK tours, a sell-out tour of Ireland and won Best Newcomer at the British Comedy Awards in 2001.
