MY LIFE!

Para-Legal, pilot, FA Class 1 coach, welder, stand up comedian and dad, Gary Skyner defies expectations of what can be achieved. Real life traumas are turned into triumphs every day. Gary’s all inspiring tale of triumph over tragedy will touch your heart and lift your spirit. As the second child in the UK to be born damaged by the deadly thalidomide drug, which was administered to expectant mothers in the 1960’s, Gary’s life was destined to be difficult and challenging, as the drug impaired his physical development. Expected not to live, let alone to achieve much, Gary is living proof that there is nothing you cannot achieve if you believe you can.

Gary is without doubt the UK’s most unusual comedian ( once seen never forgotten) Winner of Merseyside Comedian Of The Year three years running, also the star of the Jonathan Ross Big, Big talent show, and, the most successful comedian EVER to perform at the P.F.A. awards dinner in London. They might not be the same length as yours or mine, but, YOU ARE IN SAFE HANDS where comedy is concerned with LIVERPOOL’S No1 COMEDIAN – GARY SKYNER.
