Headliner bio - Fri, Aug 28

DAVE THOMPSON (UK)
Dave Thompson is the original Tinky Winky from the global television phenomenon Teletubbies, the purple icon who helped launch one of the most successful children's shows in television history. As the first performer to bring the character to life, Dave appeared in the original series and became part of one of the most talked-about stories in British television, with his departure from the show making headlines around the world. Today, audiences can finally hear the hilarious behind-the-scenes stories of life inside television's most famous purple costume.
While many people first recognize him as Tinky Winky, Dave has spent more than four decades building a reputation as one of Britain's most original stand-up comedians. His unique blend of surreal physical comedy, razor-sharp one-liners and eccentric storytelling has taken him to comedy clubs, theatres and festivals across the UK and in nearly 50 countries worldwide.

Dave has also enjoyed an extensive career as an actor and comedy writer, appearing in Harry Hill's TV Burp, Time Gentlemen Please, The Harry Hill Movie, Maybe Baby (written and directed by Ben Elton), The Munsters, The Last Kingdom, and numerous television commercials, while writing for The Sketch Show, Harry Hill's TV Burp, BBC Radio 4 and many of Britain's top comedians.
His comedy has earned praise from critics across the UK:
"One of the finest joke writers in the country." — Time Out
"The best one-liners I've heard this season." — The Independent
"Dave Thompson has a unique style and some of the best one-liners." — The Guardian
"Dave Thompson is hilarious and goes down a storm with the crowd." — Daily Mail
"Mr Thompson has become a cult among students." — Daily Telegraph
"Dave Thompson astonishes with his lanky eccentricities... talented and always amusing." — Time Out
Whether he's sharing outrageous stories from Teletubbyland, delivering brilliantly absurd observations, or firing off perfectly crafted one-liners, Dave Thompson remains one of the UK's most distinctive and unforgettable comedy performers.
Yes, he was the original Tinky Winky. No, he still doesn't know exactly why he got fired. And yes... he'll happily tell you the whole story.
