'''Kevin Eldon''' (born 2 October 1959{{citation needed|date=July 2019}}) is an English actor and comedian. He featured in British comedy television shows of the 1990s including ''[[Fist of Fun]]'', ''[[This Morning with Richard Not Judy]]'', ''[[Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge (TV series)|Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge]]'', ''[[I'm Alan Partridge]]'', ''[[Big Train]]'', ''[[Brass Eye]]'' and ''[[Jam (TV series)|Jam]]''. In 2013, Eldon appeared in his own [[BBC]] sketch series ''[[It's Kevin]]''. He has also appeared in minor speaking roles in the [[HBO]] series ''[[Game of Thrones]]''.

==Personal life==
Eldon was born in [[Chatham, Kent]]. He has been a practising Buddhist since 1990.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.notbbc.co.uk/features/15/kevin_eldon_interview.html|title=Kevin Eldon profile|work=notbbc.co.uk|access-date=1 November 2015}}</ref> He has two children with his wife Holly, who he met in late 2005 on the set of ''[[Hyperdrive (British TV series)|Hyperdrive]]'', where she was the art director.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://www.beyondthejoke.co.uk/content/new-interview-kevin-eldon|title=New Interview: Kevin Eldon|work=Beyond The Joke|first=Bruce|last=Dessau|date=16 March 2013|access-date=1 November 2015}}</ref>

==Early career and 'Lee & Herring'==
Eldon occupies half a page in Oliver Gray's book called ''Volume – A Cautionary Tale of Rock and Roll Obsession''; this includes coverage of punk-era Hampshire where, in late 1978, with two schoolmates from [[Bay House School]], [[Gosport]], Eldon started a band named Virginia Doesn't. Virginia Doesn't's career peaked with a session broadcast on Radio One's [[John Peel]] Show on 18 October 1979. In early 1980, Virginia Doesn't morphed into [http://www.michaelcooper.org.uk/C/new/time4.JPG The Time], in which Eldon was again the front man. The Time recorded and performed from April 1980 until August 1982, during which time the band gigged extensively and played support slots with [[The Jam]], [[Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive]] and [[Bad Manners]]. The Time had songs included on several self-released tape compilations, although they never secured a recording contract. In August 1982, The Time became Gerry Hackett & The Fringes, a spoof Sixties revival band. On 6 November 1983 Gerry Hackett & The Fringes appeared on BBC South's 'The Cellar Show' presented by [[John Sessions]]. Eldon started on the stand-up circuit in the early 1990s performing an act in-character as the political poet Paul Hamilton, but has also, on occasion, done stand-up as himself.

On the circuit, Eldon formed a friendship with stand-up comedian [[Stewart Lee]], which would later lead to an invitation to work with him on the radio series ''[[Fist of Fun|Lee & Herring's Fist of Fun]]'' with Lee's comedy partner [[Richard Herring]]. Lee and Herring would usually refer to him as "the actor Kevin Eldon", in reference to his claim to being an actor rather than a comedian. Eldon's work sat well with that of Lee and Herring, and he continued to work with them on many of their projects, including ''[[Lee and Herring (radio series)|The Lee & Herring Radio Show]]'', ''[[Fist of Fun]]'' and ''[[This Morning with Richard Not Judy]]''. He played recurring characters Simon Quinlank (the self-styled "King of Hobbies") and 'Rod Hull', a nonsensical version of [[Rod Hull]] with a prosthetic limb and an obsession with jelly, especially the 'green' variety. In 1994 and 1997, he appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as part the comedy troupe Cluub Zarathustra; other comedians in the troupe including Roger Mann, Johnny Vegas, Simon Munnery, and later Stewart Lee. They were given a Channel 4 pilot, which led to the television series ''Attention Scum!'' The book ''You Are Nothing'' by Robert Wringham praises the performers' talent.<ref>{{Cite news|title = Cluub Zarathustra: where British comedy was reborn|url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/comedy/comedy-news/10947095/Cluub-Zarathustra-where-British-comedy-was-reborn.html|website = Telegraph.co.uk|access-date = 2015-11-13|date = 2014-07-05|last1 = Cavendish|first1 = Dominic}}</ref> From March 2009, Eldon appeared in ''[[Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle]]'' in a number of the show's sketches most often with [[Paul Putner]].

==Stage and screen==

Eldon has appeared in many British comedy shows from the 1990s onwards. One of his first appearances on television was in 1995 in ''[[Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge (TV series)|Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge]]'' as Fanny Thomas, a foul-mouthed transvestite chef and then later appeared on ''[[I'm Alan Partridge]]'' as the laughing racist, Mike Samson.

During the 1990s, he worked with such comedians as [[Simon Pegg]], [[Mark Heap]], [[Julia Davis]], [[Amelia Bullmore]] and others in the sketch-comedy series ''[[Big Train]]''. One of Eldon's more notable characters for ''Big Train'', George Martin, was inspired by his impression of the Beatles producer.<ref name=digitalfix>{{Cite web | title = Big Train at 20 - interview with Arthur Matthews | work = The Digital Fix | date = 23 July 2018 | access-date = 13 August 2018 | url = https://www.thedigitalfix.com/television/content/11789/big-train-at-20-an-interview-with-the-shows-co-creator-arthur-matthews/ | archive-date = 2 August 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180802223445/https://www.thedigitalfix.com/television/content/11789/big-train-at-20-an-interview-with-the-shows-co-creator-arthur-matthews/ | url-status = dead }}</ref> He had previously worked with some of the cast in the satirical series ''[[Brass Eye]]'', and the dark comedy ''[[Jam (TV series)|Jam]]'', both written by Christopher Morris. Eldon would later act in ''[[Nathan Barley]]'' and the 2010 film ''[[Four Lions]]'' as a police sniper (also written by Christopher Morris). In 2004, Eldon appeared in the [[British Academy of Film and Television Arts|BAFTA]] award-winning dark comedy ''[[Nighty Night]]'' as Terry Tyrrell, husband to Julia Davis' character. They also appeared later in ''[[Hunderby]]'' (another dark comedy written by Julia Davis), ''[[Little Crackers]]'' and ''[[Psychobitches]]''. He worked again with Pegg in an episode in the sitcom ''[[Spaced]]'' with [[Mark Gatiss]], both of whom played two [[The Matrix (franchise)|Matrix]]-style government agents, and in the comedy film ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' where he played Sergeant Tony Fisher.

Eldon has appeared on stage and screen numerous times with the comedian Bill Bailey; they performed as a spoof of the [[Germany|German]] band [[Kraftwerk]], singing German versions of the "[[Hokey cokey|Hokey Cokey]]" and The Wurzels song "[[The Combine Harvester]]" for the recorded version of [[Bill Bailey]]'s ''Part Troll'' comedy tour, along with two others ([[John Moloney (comedian)|John Moloney]] and [[Martin Trenaman]]).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwaxWoJPUC0] He played the same role in Bailey's 2007 ''Tinselworm'' tour, ''[[Channel 4's Comedy Gala]]'' in 2010, and Bailey's 2010 ''Dandelion Mind'' tour. 

In late 2006, Eldon, alongside Bill Bailey, helped to organise and produce a short tour and a [[West End theatre|West End]] run of ''Pinter's People'' at the [[Haymarket Theatre]], London. The show was a collection of [[comedy sketch|sketches]] written by [[Harold Pinter]], also starring [[Geraldine McNulty]] and [[Sally Phillips]]. They appeared together again when Eldon was a panellist on ''[[Never Mind the Buzzcocks]]'' in 2007 (with Bailey as team captain), as well as on the 'Dave' show ''[[Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled]]''. They also acted together in the sitcom ''[[Black Books]]'' 'Grapes of Wrath' episode, where Eldon played "The Cleaner". Eldon has also had minor guest starring roles in numerous comedy projects, including ''[[Smack the Pony]]'', ''[[Green Wing]]'', ''[[The IT Crowd]]'' and ''[[The Kennedys (TV series)|The Kennedys]]''.

In February 2010, Eldon appeared in the pilot for a "sort-of-sketch-show" called ''Missing Scene''.<ref>[https://vimeo.com/60100490 ''Missing Scene'']; accessed 30 October 2015.</ref> In 2011 he appeared in sketches throughout ''[[How TV Ruined Your Life]]'', and with [[Paul Whitehouse]], as one of a pair of women 1950s typists in season four of ''[[Harry and Paul]]''.
