Trevor Lock (born 2 September 1973) is an English comedian, actor and playwright. He is noted for the circuitous and surreal nature of his comedy.
Lock was born in Lincolnshire. He grew up in Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire where he attended Campion School and then studied Philosophy at University College London.
He has toured the UK supporting both Stewart Lee and Russell Brand and made appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe. He is a founder member and co-host of the comedy cabaret Kool Eddy's in London, which he also took to the Edinburgh Fringe festival. In 1999 Lock appeared in Number One Show with Daniel Kitson and Andrew Maxwell at The Gilded Balloon.
In 2006 he performed a one-off hour of stand-up Edinburgh Fringe show, When I was a Little Girl – The Very Best of Trevor Lock, at the Gilded Balloon Teviot Wine Bar, Edinburgh and appeared in Cloud Cuckooland, a work-in-progress for a forthcoming BBC Radio show with Russell Brand and Matt Morgan, at the Smirnoff 'Underbelly', Cowgate. Trevor also supported Russell Brand on a number of dates for his stand-up show Shame. In November 2007 Trevor addressed the Oxford Union on The Meaning of Life in the same week as the British National Party (BNP). He disproved Descartes' maxim "Cogito ergo sum by tipping a glass of acid over his head, horrifying the front row of the audience. In 2009, Trevor Lock performed a warm up show for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at a fundraiser for Boxmoor Cricket Club. He had two shows in the 2009 Edinburgh fringe; a stand up show called Some Kind of Fool and a play titled The One and the Many
Lock presents a live comedy night 'Trevor Lock's Philosophy Society' at the Ku Bar in Lisle Street near Leicester Square. In early 2011 Lock revealed plans to tour the UK with a series of gigs held exclusively in people's livingrooms called Live in My Living Room.
