Brendan Riley is typical Liverpudlian - direct, friendly and brash. Like every Scouser, Brendan speaks his mind and the energy and appeal of his stand-up style have made him a sought after host, compere, actor and comic.
A star of both Coronation Street and Hollyoaks, he has also produced a series of documentaries, both spoof and straight, on his second love of motorbikes. He is a fully qualified mechanic and track racer.
