Anthony started performing stand-up comedy in 1741 (date may not be exact)when the London Comedy Circuit was a small baby. With a flurry of clubs across the capital, he bounced around between them after bursting free from the dourness of his boring day job. At about the same time, he started talking about himself in the third person and that habit carried on until NOW!

I moved down to London from my hometown of Leicester with the intention of getting involved in a comedy double act or sketch group. I did both but then discovered stand-up in a small club off Tottenham Court Road. After that I never looked back. I couldn't! It was horrible.

Even though, occasionally, Anthony slips back into the third person I try not to let it affect my everyday life.

Anthony King is an outwardly normal looking man who turned to comedy after he was disowned by the Catholic Church for confessing in too much detail. Having finally found a use for his twisted sense of humour, Anthony has gone on to perform at all the major comedy clubs across the UK and beyond, including performances in the Netherlands, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain.

Anthony's devilishly droll deadpan humour, masterful timing and delivery of a stream of one-liners combine to make him one of the most polished performers on the circuit. His act is a combination of his own true-life experiences mixed in with a whole bunch of lies.

Anthony's gigs have not been confined to the small stage; he has also made numerous appearances on TV. These include Granada's MAD FOR IT, Meridian's HOUSE OF FUN, UK Gold's LIVE AT JONGLEURS and he also took part in a live internet broadcast called LIVE FROM LONDON.

As well as his stand-up performances, Anthony is also well known for his writing skills. Credits include a sketch show for Granada, a series of bizarre short stories and a pilot sitcom for Radio 4. Anthony was also chosen to be part of THE COMEDY FACTORY, which was a team of writers brought together by Carlton and KDR Productions to develop and script various ideas for television. Projects included a sketch show, a quiz show, a cabaret show, a sitcom and a very tongue-in-cheek documentary.

After being approached by the city council, Anthony has also been running a series of comedy workshops in his hometown of Leicester.
