Simon King was born into an
entertainment family that
relocated to British Columbia, Canada from the South of England when he
was
quite young. He started acting at an early age primarily in live
theater and
has remained in show business since that time. After sojourns in improv
and
sketch Simon began aggressively pursuing stand-up comedy in his early
twenties.
Since that time he has been featured
at many comedy
festivals including: The Vancouver International Comedy Festival, The TBS Las Vegas Comedy
Festival and The
HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in
Aspen, Colorado. A veteran touring comic, he is not only a workhorse
performer
averaging nearly four hundred shows a year but also an extremely
prolific
writer. In addition to numerous film and television credits, in 2008
The Comedy
Network and CTV filmed a one hour special starring him for the popular
series
Comedy Now. Simon
has been featured in
The LA times, the
alternative arts paper
the Georgia Straight, The
Hollywood
Reporter and many others.
In November 2009 Uproar Entertainment signed Simon to an exclusive recording contract for his first full length album titled UNFAMOUS. It was recorded all in one take, no edits, at the Comedy Underground in Seattle on January 16, 2010. The album is currently in North American distribution as well as being available on Itunes. Tracks from UNFAMOUS are regularly featured on Sirius/XM satellite radio.
