Publicity text:
Rex Boyd appears at first to be a normal guy talking about normal life in England. Normality soon gives way to the enthusiastic fervour of a street preacher and the manic physicality of a cross beween Lee Evans and Jim Carrey culminating in an exciting, party-like atmosphere of improvisation, interaction and quite often thrillingly unpredictable responses.
Rex started doing comedy in his hometown of Kansas City in 1986. A couple of years later he was working the London alternative comedy scene as well as street performing regularly at Covent Garden. This was followed by four years globe trotting the festival circuit before finally settling down back in England where he has been an unusual highlight of the comedy club circuit ever since.
