Being English, Peter brings an international flavor to the US comedy scene, sometimes making you think you are watching Masterpiece Theatre or BBC America.  He began performing in sketch comedy as an undergraduate at Cambridge University in the 1960s, and in 2002 returned to the stage after a thirty five year  absence, spent mostly professoring in chemistry. Peter’s rants include bits about growing up in England during WWII (even before it was clear who was going to win), gossipy stuff about the Royals, snippets of Shakespeare, and all the perils of being a senior citizen.  He claims to be the oldest stand up comedian in New England, and plans to perform for  many more years.
