Jason Bradbury was born on the 10th April 1969. He is a TV presenter and children's author. His UK TV credits include a wide range of light entertainment, science and technology formats; these include The Big Breakfast, Top Gear GTI, ITV's The Web Review Show and Five's The Gadget Show. His first book, Dot Robot, was published by Puffin books, in paperback, on the 5th February 2009. He is currently writing a trilogy of techno-thrillers published by Puffin.
Jason's roots lie in the stand-up comedy circuit where he started out in a double-act with David Walliams of Little Britain. Before they explored London’s stand-up clubs, Bradbury and Walliams formed their own comedy club with fellow performers Myfanwy Moore (Producer of Little Britain) and Simon Pegg. Jason's first ever TV show was a cable show called Tellywest, where he worked alongside Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G/Borat). Bradbury has also hosted shows on Trouble TV (T Spot, Trouble @ Breakfast, Jason On Your Doorstop, Trouble Radio), Bravo TV (FHM Top 100 Girls, World's Most Amazing Videos, Mercenaries), Sky 1 (The Hit Mix co-presented with Gail Porter ), Channel 4 (Under The Moon), LWT (Live at The Capital Café alongside Dani Bahr), and The Big Breakfast.
On The Gadget Show, Bradbury regularly visits universities, laboratories and research and development departments to see future science and technology. He is known for his exotic DIY gadget builds, which have included a DIY hoverboard[1], the world's first 'phone glove', a Head-Up Display for his girlfriend's car, and a "mind-reading" device made from a modified mouse that (crudely) controlled a computer[2].
Jason Bradbury is signed to publishers Puffin (Penguin books) to write a trilogy of techno-thrillers for 8 to 12 year olds. The first in the trilogy, Dot Robot, tells the story of a twelve-year old mathematics and computer gaming genius, recruited into a top-secret robot defence-force. Throughout 2009, Jason will be talking about the book at festivals, schools and bookshops with a tour called the Dot Robot Roadshow.
He is now on the judging panel for the 2009 BAFTA Video Game Awards.
