Jonny Pelham was born with popliteal pterygium syndrome, which affects around 200 people in the UK and comes with a comically rich collection of physical abnormalities. His routines often draw on his experiences with the NHS, (where he was offered plastic surgery he didn't think he needed) and being sent to ‘Camp Courage' for disabled children.
Born to therapist parents in Bradford, Pelham one of the few white kids in a multi-ethnic school and the one white member of an all-Bengali gang, further contributing to his outsider-status which heavily informs his material.
Jonny Pelham is one of the most exciting stand-up comedians in the UK.
He's appeared on shows such as; Live at the Apollo, Mock The Week, Alan Davies As Yet Untitled, Russell Howard's Stand-up Central, Live from the BBC and Bobby and Harriet Get Married.
He's written and starred in his own scripted comedy projects; Late Bloomer, for Sky Comedy Short Season and Brad Boys for Channel Four Comedy Blaps, as well as working as a script consultant for BAFTA wining sitcom, Almas Not Normal.
He's currently developing a brand-new scripted project, with Instinct Productions; and has just delivered a cutting-edge documentary series for channel four based on his own personal experience called, Let's Talk: Child Sexual Abuse.
