Marcus Brigstocke (8 May 1973 - )
Brigstocke, an English comedian, broadcaster, writer, crew member, and satirist, attended Westbourne House School near Chichester and King's Bruton School in Somerset. He studied drama at Bristol University and in 1996 won the BBC New Comedian Award.
English provincialism and parochialism, the bourgeoisie, and the middle-class obsession with heritage are favorite subjects of his humor.
An extensive account of his filmography credits shows he has been in a variety of comedies and talk shows.
On YouTube, he skewers the three monotheistic faiths.
Brigstocke is an atheist. During an episode of The Late Edition filmed in October 2007, he was presented with an Out Campaign t-shirt by his guest and out-spoken atheist Richard Dawkins, to which Brigstocke replied,
- Look at that. Outed, outed as an atheist and proud to be so.
Brigstocke lives in South London with his wife and two children.
