Dr. Bramwell is a man who likes to keep busy. A magpie by nature, he is the creator of the successful Cheeky Guide book series and founder and host of Brighton’s Catalyst Club, a spoken word night where everyday folk take to the stage to talk about their passions. Together with singer Eliza Skelton, he has also been entertaining festival and cinema audiences for several years, with “Sing-along-a-Wickerman”, which has played throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

His one-man show, The Haunted Moustache, won him awards for “Outstanding Theatre” and “Best Comedy Show” during the Brighton Festival 2008-9, a BBC Radio 3 commission for the series Between the Ears, and nominations for an Italia Prix in 2010 and bagged a Silver Sony Award in 2011.

His second one-man show, ‘The No9 Bus to Utopia’, was based on a year travelling round communities in Europe and America in search of a better life. The show premiered in the Earth Ship in Brighton’s Stanmer Park as part of the 2010 Brighton Festival and has since been selected as a TED lecture. Dr Bramwell has also performed the show at Alain de Botton’s School of Life, The Idler Academy, Port Elliot Festival, Ramsgate Arts Festival and The Lowry Theatre.

It is worth noting that Dr Bramwell is a medical man by rumour only; approach with extreme caution, particularly if he offers to whip out your tonsils in exchange for a packet of biscuits.
