Ed Gamble (born 10 March 1986)[citation needed] is a British stand-up comedian, best known for co-presenting The Peacock and Gamble Podcast. Educated at Durham University, he began his comedy career performing with the Durham Revue,[1] and was a finalist in the 2007 Chortle Student Comedy Awards.[2]
Gamble's early work was alongside Ray Peacock, with whom he presented two different series of podcasts, totalling over 100 episodes. He has also appeared on television, performing a fifteen-minute set on the extended version of Russell Howard's Good News in late 2010. He is a regular performer at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he appeared in 2011, 2012 and 2013 with Peacock. Gamble also recorded a series of radio shows with Ray Peacock on FUBAR Radio.
Peacock and Gamble were named as the act creating the biggest "Buzz" in Edinburgh Fringe history in 2013.[citation needed]
In 2014 Ed debuted solo at Edinburgh Fringe with his Gambletron 5000 show. He returned in 2015 with his Lawman show and in 2016 with Stampede. Ed's stand-up performances contain much observational comedy, often aimed at himself, covering subjects such as weight issues and his adult circumcision.
Gamble also appeared, in 2015, with Amy Hoggart in Almost Royal, a new faux-reality show on BBC America. They played a brother and sister, Georgie and Poppy Carlton. The show was shown on E4 in the UK and was followed by a second series in 2016.
Gamble has appeared on Mock the Week in July, September and October 2015 and then again in July and October 2016.
