'Monkey Boy' is the nickname he gave himself, probably to boost his underdog persona, and his physical style means he often gets excited and worry a lot under theatre lights.2 The name given to the comedy that was started in the Eighties and defined by Saturday Live and The Young Ones. It was 'alternative' in the sense that none of the comedians were sexist/racist/ageist, as most of the traditional comedians of the day were.
