Ed Leigh
Ed Leigh can currently be seen in the new Sky One series Ed vs. Spencer.
The programme airs weekly at 10pm on Wednesday nights from November 24th 2004.
Ed is also widely regarded as the first choice presenter and commentator for free sports events, programmes and coverage in the UK. Currently also presenting Freesports on 4, his portfolio includes presenting for MTV Snowball, Channel 4, Channel 5 and commentary for BBC Grandstand.
Alongside his free sports commitments, 2003 saw Ed presenting 'Trailer Park' on the newly launched TV channel CNX, alongside Christian Stevenson, his long-time collaborator. The duo went on to present a series for the Extreme Channel throughout September and October of that year.
Their talents also extend to radio broadcasting with their weekly show on Kerrang 105.2 Midlands. Their show, a mix of outlandish humours and rock music old and new is also available on the Kerrang! national digital network and has enjoyed some of the station's highest audience figures at the weekend.
Previous to his broadcast career, Ed centred his efforts on Laughing Gear, a commentary and cabaret company set up with Christian. An intricate knowledge of the sports world and madcap off-the-cuff comedy has established them as a totally unique commodity in the events market.
Events covered include Creamfields, The Playstation Experience, Manchester Totally Board, Newquay Surf Festival and London's Board X to name a few.
he crowning glory for Laughing Gear, however, is Ed's retention of the UK Air Guitar Championships for the past 3 years with his alter ego Satan Whoppercock.
Ed cut his teeth in the world of journalism, starting out as Editor of White Lines Snowboard Magazine. He has since gone on to become a regular contributor to Loaded and Manchester's City Life as well as FHM, Big Brother and Snowboarder. He now holds the position of Field and Events Editor for Onboard European Snowboard Magazine and Kingpin European Skate Magazine.
Having been a professional snowboarder for 5 years, a skater since the age of 9, a surfer and a windsurfer, Ed has a close association with the sports and the personalities involved. Having worked within the media for ten years Ed is also gifted at communicating the values of the sport on both core and layman's terms and this has led to work as an accomplished voiceover artist and corporate youth culture consultant.
