Stuart studied A Level Drama package in 1994-96.  He currently plays actor/presenter "Caleb" in BBC1's Mission: 2110, alongside fellow alumnus Noel Byrne.

After attending Stratford-upon-Avon College, Stuart and Noel went on to become street-performers, winning the Scottish National Busking Championships.  Stuart later won third place in the World Championships.

As a stand-up comic, Stuart has supported Mark Watson on two national tours, and warmed-up TV studio audiences for Miranda, The IT Crowd, 2 Pints Of Lager, Coming Of Age, We Need Answers and The Stephen K Amos Show. Stuart also featured as one of ten talented comedians competing in ITV1's seven-part reality series, Show me The Funny.

  

"Stratford-upon-Avon College is an incredible place, and gave me an astonishingly professional grounding in both performance, and the ability to make work under my own steam, rather than waiting for someone else to give it to me," commented Stuart.

 Stuart made a triumphant return to Stratford-upon-Avon College on Thursday 13th January 2011 to perform his debut stand-up comedy show The Reasonable Man.  The Reasonable Man is the story of what happened when he tried to be himself instead. It is a white-knuckle, high-octane meander through the worlds of sex, circus and subculture. A glorious stand-up debut from a nice young man with no tattoos.

Stuart said, “I am thrilled to be back at the College performing the work I am most proud of.”
