David Reed is a writer / actor / comedian / musician / graphic designer / model / rescue diver / prophet and one third of sketch comedy group The Penny Dreadfuls.

Officially the highlight of his acting career thus far was playing Peter Cook opposite David Walliams' Frankie Howerd, but in actuallity it was playing a builder on Ed & Oucho for CBBC.

So far in his relatively short life he has had the privilege to drum for Jarvis Cocker, Malcolm Middleton and John Hegley.

David started to play the drums at the age of ten when he was the only boy in a class of girls. This may have been an overcompensatory measure.
