The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno. Malcolm In The Middle. It's All Relative. In Laws. If you've seen any of these shows or visited a comedy club anywhere in the US, you may already be familiar with the work of Brian Noonan.

Brian began his climb up the showbiz ladder playing a plank of wood in a fourth-grade production of Noah's Ark. Even at that young age, he distinguished himself by portraying the wood, knots and all, as a little warped and slightly twisted. Be assured, he hasn't changed much.

The oldest of five boys, Brian is now a husband and the father of a little girl. The unfamiliar landscape of the female psyche is a constant challenge to Brian's theories on parenting as well as the world in general.

A rapper might refer to Brian as "old school". He remembers a time when children were there to be seen and not heard. Parents were parents - disciplinarians who didn't try to be their kid's best friend - and helmets were used only for protection on the football field, not as an everyday safety accessory.

Brian puts a unique and hilarious spin on everyday events. He's gruff but lovable, and the audience always knows his heart is in the right place. His stories strike a common cord with everyone - male and female, young and old alike - leaving the audience feeling like they've known Brian forever.

Brian's not just another pretty face. In addition to nationallly touring as a comic for 13 years his TV credits include:

• The Tonight Show (recurring sketch player)
• Malcolm In The Middle
