Edward Stephenson Gamble (born 11 March 1986)[citation needed] is a British stand-up comedian, known for co-presenting The Peacock and Gamble Podcast and his regular appearances on Mock the Week. 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]
Early life
Gamble was brought up in southwest London.[3] He was educated at King's College School, an independent day school for boys in Wimbledon,[citation needed] followed by Durham University.[1]
Career
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 15-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; he appeared there in 2011, 2012 and 2013 with Peacock. Gamble also recorded a series of radio shows with 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 Gamble debuted solo at Edinburgh Fringe with his "Gambletron 5000" show. He returned in 2015 with "Lawman" and in 2016 with "Stampede". His stand-up performances contain much observational comedy, often aimed at himself, but he also discusses his diabetes, which he was diagnosed with as a teenager.
Gamble also appeared in 2015, with Amy Hoggart, in Almost Royal, a 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 been a regular panellist on the BBC panel show Mock the Week since July 2015.
He has guest-hosted the Elis James and John Robins Show on Radio X in 2017 and 2018. He is also known as the "diabeast".
His 'downstairs' maintenance was briefly mentioned in Greg Davies Netflix special You Magnificent Beast.
