Dominic Frisby

Dominic Frisby is a British author, comedian and voice actor. He is best known as co-host of Money Pit.

Dominic Frisby is the son of the playwright and novelist Terence Frisby, and Christine Doppelt. He was educated at St Paul's School, Manchester University and the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, studying Italian and drama.

Frisby is a prolific voice actor, voicing film trailers and adverts since he left university. Frisby has performed at The Sitcom Trials, voiced series 5 and 6 of How Do They Do It?, provided many voices for Valhalla, narrated Extreme Universe, and voice-acted Moomins on the Riviera. In 2001, he was in the sitcom Sam's Game with Davina McCall, and he played Captain Rimming alongside Pam Ann in Mile High Club, part of Comedy Lab. In 2005, he played gay salsa teacher Jez in an episode of Murder in Suburbia. He narrated the documentary Four Horsemen, which he co-wrote, editing after the film was shot and writing the narration.

He began performing live comedy in 1997, with the Upper Class Rapper. He began as a character comic, before also doing observational comedy and compering. In October 2001 he presented a radio show pilot at the Bracknell comedy festival. He appeared on the Edinburgh Fringe in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2016. Steve Bennett reviewing for Chortle in 2000 said his character comedy, including Upper Class Rapper and Ludwig the Bavarian, was a string of one-liners. The show had "inspired gags", but was "sadly patchy". Bennett's review three years later, calling his work "pleasant enough" but lacking an edge, noted he had moved on from being a character comic and decided to instead base his comedy on real life. In 2001, he took part in an attempt to get into the Guinness Book of Records at Edinburgh as one of 45 comics onstage in 45 minutes. He created the website Perrier Bets in 2004 to take bets on who would win the Perrier Award at Edinburgh.
