Greg Davies (Host)

Born: May 14, 1968 in St Asaph, Wales

Best Known For: The Inbetweeners, Man Down and his stand-up tours.

Early-life: Greg was born in St Asaph, Wales, on May 14, 1968 but his parents moved to Wem in Shropshire soon after his birth. Before embarking on a career in showbiz, Greg taught drama and English for 13 years at Sandhurst School in Berkshire and Orleans Park School in Twickenham.

Career: Davies started to get noticed for his comedy as one third of sketch comedy group We Are Klang. His big break came in 2008 when he began playing schoolteacher Mr Gilbert in E4's hugely popular sitcom The Inbetweeners. In 2010, Davies's debut solo stand-up show, Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog, was nominated for the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award, which led to a sell-out nationwide tour. His second solo tour, The Back of My Mum's Head, was another sell-out national tour. He plays the lead role in popular Channel 4 sitcom Man Down, a series he also co-writes.

Quote: "I think people find this schoolteacher thing hilarious," he says, "I always get asked if I was actually any good. Well, how do I answer that?"

Trivia: At 6ft 8, it is difficult for Davies to blend into a crowd.
