The unmistakeable Bristol-born comedian Justin Lee Collins is currently on trial in St Albans, accused of harassing his 38 year old former girlfriend Anna Larkin between January and August last year.
Justin Lee Collins (known as JLC) started making a name for himself as a stand up comic in 1997, when he was awarded the title of 'Best New Comedy Act' at the '97 Glastonbury music festival. He also reached the finals of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the BBC New Comedy Awards that same year, and continued with stand up until 2002 when he quit to focus on Radio & TV presenting.
Justin made his name as a stand up comic, for which he won a number of awards including the 'Best New Comedy Act' at the 1997 Glastonbury festival. That year also saw him reach the finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He continued with stand up comedy until 2002 when he decided to quit and focus entirely on TV and radio presenting.
His radio career began in 2003 when he was awarded a Sunday afternoon show on London station XFM. He stayed with the station until 2005 when he left to pursue his TV career. He was chosen to present the E4 programme 'The Games: Live at Trackside', the companion show to the channel 4 series 'The Games. The show continued until 2006 when Justin hit it big with a new show called 'Bring Back'.
Justin's first really successful prime time programme was 'Bring Back', a show in which Justin and his team would travel around the world attempting to re-unite cast members from popular TV series of the seventies and eighties. The show had a very rough-and-ready edge to it, making it an instant hit with audiences.
After 'Bring Back' came 'The Convention Crasher' in which Justin attended all manner of cult conventions across the United States and once there attempted to become expert in the field and perform at the convention to try and pass as a true fan, with mixed successes.
After 'The Convention Crasher' Justin was chosen to present 'The Friday Night Project' alongside fellow funny man Alan Carr. The show featured a guest celebrity each week who would present the show alongside Justin and Alan, taking part in a number of silly games, challenges and quizzes. The show was hugely successful and aired for several seasons.
Justin is also a keen charity worker and has been patron of, and helped raise a large amount of money for, the 'Bristol Kids' charity. The trial has met with fierce opposition amongst many members of his hometown and beyond, who do not believe the charges to be true, including his ex-wife who spoke at the trial of his incredible kindness and warmth.
