Julian Peter McDonald Clary (born 25 May 1959) is an English comedian, actor, presenter and novelist. Clary began appearing on television in the mid-1980s. Since then he has also acted in films, television and stage productions, and was the winner of 'Celebrity Big Brother 10' in 2012.

Clary was born in Surbiton, Surrey, to Brenda Clary (née McDonald), a probation officer, and Peter J. Clary, a police officer. By his own account, he was conceived "in broad daylight" in Clacton-on-Sea in 1958.

Two of his great-grandparents were Germans who emigrated to Britain at the end of the nineteenth century. He was raised a Catholic. He later studied English and Drama at Goldsmiths' College, University of London.

Clary began his career under the name 'Leo Hurll', a fake keyboardist for pop band Thinkman (a recording project conceived by Rupert Hine). He wore heavy glam make-up and dressed in outrageous clothes, often involving leather/PVC and hinting at bondage.

After a number of appearances on Friday Night Live in the mid-late 1980s, Clary co-hosted the short-lived ITV game show 'Trick or Treat' in 1989 with Mike Smith, before achieving greater success later that year with his own high-camp Channel 4 gameshow, 'Sticky Moments with Julian Clary'.

Clary has released two large format comedy books: 'My Life With Fanny The Wonder Dog' (1989) and 'How To Be A Man' (1992).
