   About John Dredge
I live within a walnut on the planet of Trebor, more specifically, in London. My parents were hedgehogs, and my cousins were cogmenders by Royal appointment. I began life in the spring of '444, a leaf protruding from my hat, and an aubergine balanced precariously on my elbow. I then went to school and found only chaffinches would be my friends except on the thirty-fifth of the month, when a spaceship would emerge from its shed and the aliens would take me around Penge for a few quid. I then left school and went to work in the town centre as a mollusc. It was a tiring job and although offered promotion I decided instead to join the Albertross Association, and enjoyed flying through the sky with a devil-may-care attitude. After some time I was employed as a sceneshifter with the local bank. After a week they realised there were no scenes to shift and I was fired. I then became a telephone sales operative for the county, and astride my faithful horse, Warlock, I would phone various people-oids in search of things and stuff. I then took up the guitar and began to sing in a band, The Unit Trusts. We went on a massive tour of my house and played a final triumphant gig in the airing cupboard. Then we split up and I became more interested in yaks. After making my own yak out of shoe trees and camemberts, I decided to try my hand at comedy, armed only with a clockface. I wrote some daft radio shows for Resonance 104.4FM (www.resonancefm.com) and internet station Comedy 365(www.comedy365.co.uk) and continue to do so in a continuative manner. I also do stuff for the Funny Or Die website. I plan to write my own tv and radio comedy shows and also plan to go on a world tour of Lowestoft Library riding around on a tractor and/or coin. Long live the Prussian Empire, and good luck to Henry Schlappers, who likes counting chimps and has invented a special chimpometer for that sort of thing. By the way, both my father and my wife were born in a barrel in the English coastal town of Chaydsley. So they say(y).

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

John, not only do you have a fine wit (far more than half, I'd say), but you're a comic book fan too?!

Love the new stuff on your player!
