He was born in London on 21 February, 1976 and is the son of Canadian comedian and writer Thomas Cameron McIntyre, known as Ray Cameron, and his wife Kati.

He continued to go from strength to strength and went on to appear on BBC One’s Live at the Apollo, in 2007, 2008, and 2009 after asserting his spot on the comedy stage.
The 45-year-old released four DVDs of his hilarity – Live and Laughing, Hello Wembley, Showtime, and Happy and Glorious – which have sold over five million copies in the UK.
After appearances on numerous radio broadcasts, chat shows and comedy panels, including Mock the Week and Friday Night with Johnathon Ross, he tried his hand at hosting his own show.
He joined other comics in 2010 on Channel 4′s Comedy Gala and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year.
Later that year, he also bagged a gig as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, alongside David Hasselhoff and Amanda Holden – a platform that helped him gain the spot as host for the Royal Variety Performance in 2010 and 2014.

In another gag about his kids, he said: “My son’s got two words: car and map, that’s all he can say. ‘Car, car, map, car!’
“I’m fairly worried he’s trying to escape. So if the next word is passport, we’re in serious trouble.”
In June 2018, the star was mugged by thugs on mopeds as he waiting to collect his sons from school, who swiped his Rolex watch at knifepoint.
