Who is Greg Davies?
Gregory Daniel Davies, born on May 14, 1968, in St Asaph, Wales, is a comedy giant in every sense. Standing at 6 ft 8 in, he is one of the most physically imposing figures in British entertainment. Raised in Wem, Shropshire, Davies spent 13 years as a drama and English teacher before becoming a professional comedian—a career path that profoundly influences his work. He often mines his teaching days for material, portraying himself as a man utterly unsuited to being in charge of children.
Davies achieved mainstream fame as Mr. Gilbert, the psychotic Head of Sixth Form in The Inbetweeners. This role, which required him to be terrifying yet hilarious, set the tone for his career. He is now best known as the tyrannical host of "Taskmaster," the BAFTA-winning comedy game show that has become a global phenomenon.
Despite his on-screen persona of authority and rage, Davies is known for his warmth and self-deprecation in real life. He lives in Kennington, London, and was in a long-term relationship with Labour politician Liz Kendall until 2015. His 2026 tour, "Full Fat Legend," is a tongue-in-cheek reference to his status, promising to dismantle the myth of his competence with stories of his own humiliation.
Greg Davies' comedy style
Greg Davies' comedy style is a mix of furious authority and puerile self-deprecation. He uses his physical size to intimidate, often shouting or pulling grotesque faces to emphasise a point, but the joke is almost always on him. He delights in telling stories where he is the fool—whether it’s getting caught in compromising situations by his mother or failing basic tasks of adulthood.
His material is heavily anecdotal. He excels at long-form storytelling, particularly regarding his eccentric family (his late father, Bob, was a recurring character in his early stand-up) and his disastrous teaching career. His delivery is high-octane and theatrical; he doesn't just tell a joke, he acts it out with a manic energy that defies his size.
A key theme in his work is the refusal to grow up. He often describes himself as a "fat, inadequate man-child" who has somehow tricked the world into giving him power. This tension—between the Taskmaster figure and the man who laughs at fart jokes—is the engine of his comedy.
Greg Davies' comedy career
Davies began his comedy career in his 30s, forming the sketch trio We Are Klang with Marek Larwood and Steve Hall. The group was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2006, known for their anarchic and physical humour.
His solo breakthrough came with his 2010 stand-up show Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog, which was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award. This was followed by the massive success of The Inbetweeners (2008-2010), where his performance as Mr. Gilbert became iconic.
He wrote and starred in the sitcom "Man Down" (2013-2017), playing a childish drama teacher, which co-starred his comedy hero Rik Mayall as his father. Since 2015, he has hosted Taskmaster, a role that has cemented his status as one of the UK's most beloved TV personalities. He also writes and stars in "The Cleaner," a black comedy where he plays a crime scene cleaner. His return to stand-up in 2026 marks a rare opportunity to see him live after years of TV dominance.
