Raised in Shropshire, Gareth Williams first got a taste for comedy as a member of Bath Spa University’s Comedy Society, The Idle Playthings. 

Later moving to Brum, he launched “Birmingham’s original LGBTQ+ comedy night”, Queer As Joke, in 2021. “I just tell stories from the perspective of an overweight, underprepared millennial, with a bit of a saucy flare,” he says.
