Graeme was born at an early age to parents in Liverpool. From the ages of 9 to 18 his life was spent in South Wales engineering ways to move back to his native Liverpool. This dream was realised when he returned to his spiritual home as a student. By the age of 21 he had a degree in History and American Studies which naturally paved the way for a life in comedy. His first attempts at merry-making were based around crank phone-calls, bogus letters of complaint and complex e-mails, ridiculing everything and everyone for his colleagues' amusement. In 2005 he decided on a more constructive approach and started work on the as yet unfinished comedy memoirs of a fictional East German couple, Siggi und Gunther. In 2006 a chance meeting with Neil and the introduction of Peter into the mix led to the formation of Fully House Trained. Graeme has won various junior acting accolades in the past; he has twice played the Wise Man bestowing gold upon the Baby Jesus, and once played Sleepy in a critically acclaimed production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. His narcoleptic monologue about the misrepresentation of dwarf-sex in dreams prompted much discussion in the primary school he was then attending. He also caused controversy in a later school play by appearing topless in his role as Native American warrior, Tom O'Hawk. His only TV appearance to date was as a Liverpool fan celebrating a goal at Goodison on ITV's Premiership programme. Graeme still lives in Liverpool and is married. He works in I.T. until he can realise his comedy dreams. He also has no hair, but he doesn't care.

Synopsis:

Welcome to the world of Fully House Trained. A fertile land of flirty cash machines, ineffectual fightfighters, teachers with their own curriculum, racing correspondents who take their work home with them, and old-aged pensioners too worldly for their own good. Smart, irreverent and slightly dangerous sketch comedy.

Apart from very popular and world touring productions, many performing arts events are largely forgotten about in a matter of months. Traces may remain in various collections, but few collecting agencies, such as libraries, catalogue each flyer or program individually. Hence, unless one knows that an event took place at a certain time in a certain place, tracking down such an event as part of a research project is often a matter of chance. Where research needs to be carried out on high profile and well-documented productions only, this is not a problem. However, both the historian and the analyst will attest that the cultural, political, or sociological context in which a performing arts event takes place is also of major importance, as are the other events that took place in close proximity, either in place or time. A good overview of such productions provides us with a 'social document' that can greatly enhance cultural studies in ways that extend far beyond the narrow confines of theatre history. For instance, data such as this can be used to monitor the health of communities, particularly when used in association with data obtained from other social science disciplines. When one researches a particular playwright one might want to know about all the productions of plays by that author; if one wants to investigate what choices a particular audience had over a period of history and compare this to, say, an ethnic breakdown of the population, one would need to know broadly all the events that took place during that time. If one wanted to do a statistical analysis on the shift in popularity of a genre over one or more generations, it is important to have knowledge of most of the relevant major and minor performance events that took place. In this context, issues of aesthetic quality and the professionalism of a production - which will of course have an impact on such studies - are not the determining factors when deciding to include or exclude events, since all events are the raw material for such research.
