About this deal

Laws, Roz (8 April 2011). "Tall tales with king of comedy Greg Davies". Business Live . Retrieved 11 March 2020. Holt, Laura (9 April 2011). "My life in travel: Greg Davies, actor and comedian". The Independent . Retrieved 11 March 2020. In 2007 Davies was nominated three times in the Chortle Awards, in the categories "Breakthrough Act" (for his solo stand-up act), "Best Sketch, Variety or Character Act", and "Best Full-Length Show" (both as part of sketch team We Are Klang). [11] Greg being an ex-teacher started the show with a set of objectives, I thought this was a good way to structure the show, as by revealing parts it added to the audiences excitement and anticipation, the objectives also allowed the audience to see how far through the show we were at any given time, making sure no one could beguin to wonder how long was left. For the end of the show the objectives promised us a heart warming song and a better world, this was indeed delivered. The Bonsai song as I’m sure it will become known, bought the show together, it starts on a negative foot making us sing ‘I wish I was a Bonsai Tree’ to enforce the message of the show; how sad it is that in adulthood, most of the time we don’t say what is in our mind and the world becomes quite dull and boring without young people. However instead of being depressing the song turns around and then looks at the negatives of being a Bonsai tree, Greg them makes us sing the ‘I’m glad I’m not a Bonsai tree’ .

At heart, it’s a brilliant example of a mainstream sitcom… but with a twist and heart of its own. Channel 4 – and Greg Davies – deserve to have a monster hit on their hands” a b Saner, Emine (8 April 2011). "Rik Mayall was still a force of nature. His ambition was huge". The Guardian . Retrieved 3 September 2021.

Since July 2015 Davies has been the host of the panel game show Taskmaster. In December 2015, he starred in BBC Two's comedy drama A Gert Lush Christmas where he played Tony, the uncle of Russell and Kerry Howard's characters. On Christmas Day he played King Hydroflax in the 2015 Doctor Who Special " The Husbands of River Song". [21]Not that the former teacher likes actual youngsters, of course, just adults who behave like them. One of the items on the menu outlining the show is ‘discrediting children’, which he delivers as promised, along with a soundscape (largely for Davies’s own amusement that one) and ‘fun with a racist’ – a taxi-driver, naturally, whose ignorance towards different people is matched only by his ignorance towards pie composition.

a b "Wem's Greg Davies makes it big". Great British Life. 13 April 2011. Archived from the original on 17 November 2011 . Retrieved 11 March 2020.Davies weaves a magnificent web. Fact or fiction, he sells the whole show, frequently leaving you helpless with laughter.”
