Starting his stand up career in 2007, Simon is fast becoming a comedian to watch out for. With excellent material, spot-on timing and a unique set structure, Simon won the 2008 Otherside New Comedian of the Year, whilst also reaching the final of English Comedian of the Year and Hull Comedian of the Year. Simon opens nights across the country, is regarded as an excellent compere and is resident MC at a number of nights in Yorkshire. "Quite some invention has gone into this act; expect to see more." - Chortle "The night was about one person... Simon Gunnell, take a bow." - Exposed Magazine "Arguably one of the best structures to a set I have seen... very funny." - The Sheffield Telegraph "With a delivery as dry as a halibut in the Sahara, Mr Gunnell has devised an enthralling comedic premise that has 'successful Edinburgh show' stamped on it. His combination of defiantly dark anecdotes and filmic frippery render him a worthy addition to any evening of quality stand up." - Anthony J Brown "Very original and very funny indeed." - BBC Online "Lay claim to having seen him before he's huge." - Giggling Badger Comedy Club "Compared the night perfectly." - Barnsley Chronicle
