Matthew Duffy (Thick Richard) used to work with Bob Moyler who’s now off doing other things, although the two of them still co-operate on projects. Thick Richard has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Glastonbury Festival as well as appearances on previous series of Bespoken Word.
Thick Richard will take you to the dark side with his tales of the seedy underbelly of life, delivered at breakneck pace.
With no mobile, email address or website, Thick Richard asks "If we don’t have anything on MySpace do we not exist?"

He runs workshops in schools and his album Poetry in the Key of Gee was released to critical acclaim.
