Simon Amstell Facts

Simon’s parents got divorced when he was a teenager, in the early 1990s, and he has often stated that his parent’s divorce along with the fact that he was circumcised at birth were the 2 events that have chiefly influenced his career as a stand-up comic.

In 1994, he had appeared in an episode of Family Catchphrase, a game show, where he performed magic tricks in front of the show’s host Andrew O’Connor, who was a magician himself. He won a TV set and a video recorder for his act.

He was featured in the English pop-rock band McFly‘s music video for the song titled All About You. The song was chosen as the official single of the 2005 edition of the annual Comic Relief charity.

For his work, as a host, on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, he won the ‘Best Entertainment Performance’ at the 2006 Royal Television Society Awards and the ‘Best Comedy Entertainment Personality’ at the 2007 British Comedy Awards. His hosting of the show is also widely recognized as the reason behind it getting named as the 36th-best TV show of the decade by The Times newspaper.
