Richard Stephenson Winter

Richard Winter was born in Carlisle, Cumbria in 1968 and grew up in Northumberland. He trained as an actor and in business studies before embarking on a twenty year on / off non-career in the Army, serving in both the Territorial and Regular Army. He was awarded the Territorial Decoration in 2012 and finally retired in January 2013 as a Major. When not serving as an ambivalent soldier, "RSW" has spent time variously travelling, often working as an international DJ, playing, drinking and "generally making a scene" in various places from Cannes and Monte Carlo to Beirut and Syria. He was expelled from his DJ residence in Abu Dhabi following his creation of a very popular hip hop night where everyone danced but no-one bought drinks. His sense of humour lent itself to a foray into comedy, though his physically menacing presence and disinclination to indulge hecklers led to friend and comedy mentor Steffen Peddie remarking "You were okay till you threatened them."
