Standup comedian and actor Johnny Vegas is also a regular on panel shows - when he’s at his best in our opinion - very quick witted (when he’s laid off the booze for a while) - we love him

Michael Joseph Pennington, Sr., better known as Johnny Vegas (born 5 September 1970) is an English actor and comedian, known for his angry rants, surreal humour, portly figure and high husky voice. His television roles have included playing drug dealer Moz in the BBC dark-comedy Ideal.
Vegas also regularly appears in comedy panel shows such as QI and 8 Out of 10 Cats. Johnny Vegas was born in Thatto Heath, St Helens, Lancashire, the youngest of four children of Laurence and Patricia Pennington. He has two older brothers (Robert and Mark) and an older sister (Catharine). He was brought up as a Roman Catholic.
At the age of eleven, he attended St Joseph's College in Upholland, a Roman Catholic boarding-school seminary, to train for the priesthood, but came back homesick after four terms. He also attended West Park School, Alder Hey Road, St Helens.
After studying art and ceramics at Middlesex University for three years and gaining a third class degree, Vegas returned to Thatto Heath, and took various short-term jobs including working in an Argos warehouse, selling boiler insurance door-to-door and packing bottles of Jif in a factory, before eventually becoming a barman at the Brown Edge pub in Thatto Heath.
In 1996, Vegas made his television debut as a contestant on Win, Lose or Draw in the UK under his real name of Michael, but made references to the fact he wanted to be a comedian and that his stage name was "Johnny Vegas".
His appearance was briefly shown during Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups and BBC Three's Almost Famous 2. In the mid-nineties, Vegas spent time living in London and Glasgow with the intention of becoming a stand-up comedian. In London, he was mentored by 'comedy godfather' Malcolm Hardee.
In 2002, Vegas starred in the BBC Radio 4 sitcom Night Class, which he co-wrote with Tony Burgess and Tony Pitts, with Dirk Maggs as director. Vegas played a former Butlin's redcoat teaching evening classes in pottery. It was a runner-up for best comedy at the Sony Radio Academy Awards.
He starred in the BBC Three sitcom Ideal as Moz from 2005 to 2011. Between 2007 and 2009, Vegas played Geoff "The Oracle" Maltby in the ITV sitcom Benidorm. On 16 January 2015 , he made guest appearances during the programme's seventh series.
In 2012, Vegas played the role of Mr. Croombe in a television adaptation of David Walliams' children's novel Mr Stink. In 2014, Vegas voiced Fat Baz in the ITV4 animated sitcom Warren United. On 6 August 2014, Vegas took part in ITV's two-part documentary series Secrets from the Clink.
Since 2013, Vegas has played Wet Eric in the revived BBC sitcom Still Open All Hours. In 2003, Vegas played Jackie Symes in the film The Virgin of Liverpool, Alf Prince in the film Cheeky and Trevor in the film Blackball. In 2004, he played Dave in the film Sex Lives of the Potato Men and voiced Uncle Stewart in the film Terkel in Trouble.
In 2013, Vegas was the voice of Abu the hamster in the British film The Harry Hill Movie. Vegas appeared in Joe Orton's The Erpingham Camp at the 2000 Edinburgh Festival.
In 2001, Vegas starred as Al in adverts for ITV Digital with a puppet named Monkey (voiced by Ben Miller). In 2007, he reprised the role in adverts for tea brand PG Tips.
Having achieved fame in entertainment, Vegas received plaudits for his ceramic work. Ceramic Review praised him, leading to a role in Pot Shots (collaborating with Roger Law), a film made for an international gathering of potters. This led to his work being acquired for a collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum and a commission from Old Spice to design a bottle for their aftershave.
In 2005, Vegas participated in a celebrity edition of The Generation Game demonstrating how to make a pot, before judging the participants' attempts. In 2014, he directed a music video for Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott.
In August 2002, Vegas married Catherine "Kitty" Donnelly and sold pictures of the wedding to Viz magazine for a pound. The couple separated in 2004. They reunited briefly (twice) in 2005. Vegas and Donnelly were divorced by agreement on 11 March 2008 after having lived apart for more than two years. In early April 2011, Vegas married columnist and Irish television producer, Maia Dunphy in Seville.
On 9 May 2008, Vegas admitted on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross that he has been losing weight after being diagnosed with gout. On 30 October 2008, on an episode of 8 out of 10 Cats, he mentioned that he had lost 4 stone (25 kg). Vegas fulfilled a lifetime ambition by appearing for St Helens in Keiron Cunningham's testimonial rugby league game, a friendly against Hull, in 2005. Vegas is a Christian, having recently returned to religion after having lapsed during adolescence. In July 2014, Vegas was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Edge Hill University.
