Acting
Martin Trenaman is a prolific actor, writer and comedy performer. After launching a career as a stand-up comedian, Martin won the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny? award at the 1994 Edinburgh Festival. This was a springboard for him to work with some of the UK’s most successful actors and comedians. His first stage acting appearance was a ten-week sell-out run at London’s Apollo theatre, alongside Lee Evans. Martin has worked extensively across film and television for over 28 years, appearing in both comedies and dramas alongside Ray Winston, Olivia Colman, Bradley Cooper, Daniel Bruhl, Sienna Miller, James Corden and many others. He played Alan Cooper in three series of the hit TV sitcom The Inbetweeners and both its hugely successful film spinoffs. He is also known for his leading role in the highly successful UK sitcom PhoneShop, playing store manager Lance. Recent credits include crime drama Queens of Mystery, Sir Lenny Henry’s Three Little Birds, Midsomer Murders, and Quiz, alongside Matthew Macfadyen.
