Mathew Horne
Respected comedy actor. Funny, laid back & distinctive. Excellent comic timing, character ability & a natural laddish delivery. Talented comedy writer & skilled improviser.
Born and bred East Midlander but naturally speaks with a fairly neutral accent. Does a very good Northern accent too and has used it regularly for TV roles.
Best known for leading the cast of the smash hit sitcom, Gavin & Stacey and for his varied character roles in the hugely successful sketch show, Catherine Tate Show.
Nominated as Best Newcomer at British Comedy Awards 2007.
He's been in successful comedy duos; Corden & Horne and earlier in his career, Mat & Mackinnon. You can hear Mat working with Robert Webb and then Robert Wilfort in the 'Character Acting Commercials' mix and in 'Comedy Duo' track, he can be heard working with his original comedy partner, Bruce Mackinnon. We represent all these talented boys.
