Rory Cargill is a comedian, actor, writer and filmmaker.
ABOUT
Rory is a versatile performer who specialises as a character comedian.
Whilst interested in all sorts of writing and performing, his own creations lean cartoonish and sometimes surreal; from a 10 year old 1950's detective to an incompetent bird handler.
He enjoys watching and making things with strong visual gags, unusual and creative formats and spoof comedy.
His wig collection is extensive.
