Most people get into stand-up in order to hack out a career in TV but as ever Eddy did things arse about face. Before turning to stand-up Eddy worked as a presenter on the Bravo TV show The Basement, covering topics ranging from the British Lawn Mower Grand Prix to a live Hair Transplant!

That said Eddy is still a regular talking head on TV programmes such as I Predict a Riot, The Confessions of Series, 100 worst Singles and the Britain’s Toughest Series.

In 1998 Eddy wrote, filmed and presented Teargas & Tantrums for Carlton Video. This controversial exposé of life among the travelling English football supporters reached number 3 in the national retail chart.
