Michael Joseph Pennington (born 5 September 1970), better known as Johnny Vegas, is an English comedian and actor. He is known for his portly figure, angry comedic rants, surreal humour, northern accent, and husky voice. His television roles have included Al in the ITV Digital and PG Tips adverts, drug dealer Moz in the BBC dark comedy "Ideal", Geoff Maltby in the ITV comedy series "Benidorm", and Eric Agnew in the BBC sitcom "Still Open All Hours".

After studying art and ceramics at Middlesex University for three years and gaining a third class degree, Vegas returned to Thatto Heath and took various short-term jobs including working in an Argos warehouse, selling boiler insurance door-to-door, packing bottles of Cif (household cleaning products) in a factory, and becoming a barman at the Brown Edge pub.
