He did have a childhood dream to become a wrestler, dinosaur, or spaceman but luckily has settled on becoming a stand-up comedian. Joey boasts an extraordinary brand of highly original and surreally silly comedy. Joey always takes audiences on magical flight of fancy away from the humdrum of the everyday grind.COLIN OWENS [COMPERE] Our compere and your host for Stand in The Basement, Colin Owens, is an award-winning stand-up comedian, who has worked with Jimmy Carr, the teams behind The Inbetweeners and Mighty Boosh.
