Rick began his career on the standup circuit after graduating with a degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University. He now works as a journalist, presenter and screenwriter. Rick has a keen interest in history and loves a bit of wild swimming - he has swum outdoors across the UK. On television, Rick hosts BBC1’s smash daytime quiz show !mpossible which will be recording its fourth series in 2018. Amongst his other numerous presenting credits are: ITV2’s comedy roast Safeword, BBC Three’s live current affairs debate show Free Speech and Channel 4’s Paralympic Breakfast Show. Rick hosts the podcast Science(ish) alongside Dr Michael Brooks which delves into the science behind popular films.
