Ian Wigley

As a baby, Ian was raised by a crazy, criminally insane, bearded lady somewhere far out on the scenic Lancashire Wolds. After such a bizarre beginning in life, many thought things could get no stranger, but in the years following Ian’s childhood, he somehow surprisingly fluked his way through England’s flailing and anachronistic education system. Having managed to pass through the little vaunted A-Level examination system, he went away to a Dickensian-type university to pursue a vocation manufacturing stools for the Pope’s choir boys to sit on. After graduating from the Choir Boy Stool Program with nothing less than flying colours, he ruefully turned his back on the profession he once dearly wanted to make his own. He can now be found touring the world with Debbie Harry and her famous Boil in the Bag Circus.
