Musical comedian Sandy Nelson began stand-up in 1997 and made his solo Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2002 with the show Bedroom Popstar, which he followed up with Stand Up-The Musical the following year.

He also has a string of bit-part acting credits to his name – from Bravehart, via Rab C Nesbitt and The Book Group to Still Game, where he had a recurring role as Chris The Postie.
