Ivan
Brackenbury - Comedian
- Biography
Inept hospital radio DJ Ivan Brackenbury is the
creation of Tom Binns, a former breakfast radio
host on London's XFM as well as a comedian in
his own right.
As himself, Binns won the Jongleurs new act of
the year, piloted his own chat show on Five
called Tom Binns Munchies, and was one of the
presenters on Channel 4 breakfast show RI:SE.
He’s also appeared on Knowing Me Knowing Yule
With Alan Partridge, Friday Night Armistice and
Fist Of Fun as a comic actor.
He created Brakenbury relatively early in his
career, and the character appeared on Radio 1,
Virgin and GLR, before being rested as Binns
developed his own radio career, which included
landing XFM with a then-record £50,000 fine for
talking about bestiality on air.
However, Brakenbury was resurrected for the
Edinburgh Fringe 2007, where he was nominated
for the if.comedy prize for the best show, and
his roadshow, complete with inappropriate
records and bungled cues, is now a regular
fixture on the live circuit.
