This astounding act uses a riot of exuberant, loose-limbed physical comedy, extraordinary caricatures and stunningly acute impressions. Combining a fearless onstage presence, unshakeable confidence and streetwise hyperactive delivery, Terry leaves his audience exhilarated and exhausted with laughter. He is considered one of the best live comedy performers in the country.
Terry starred in ITV1’s London Burning in 2002, and also hosted in his own radio show, Terry’s Turnstiles on London’s Capital Radio FM.
In 2000, after a highly successful sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe where he was nominated for the prestigious Perrier Award, Terry was invited to host the National Lottery programme, Red Alert, with Lulu for the BBC.

Further television appearances have included; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (Channel 4), Holby City (BBC), Ian Wright’s Friday Night’s All Wright (ITV), Stupid Punts (BBC2), The Stand Up Show (BBC1), Saturday Live (ITV).
Terry recently gained national notoriety from Sky One’s ‘The Match’ (Celebrities v Legends) where Terry played a blinder in goal and was signed by Southend United, the following week as cover to their number one goal keeper.
