Comedian

The Resume

    (July 11, 1964- )
    Portrayed David Lister on the television series ‘Red Dwarf’
    Hosted the television series ‘Jailbreak’ and ‘Robot Wars’

Why he might be annoying:

    He smokes.
    He is a Trekkie.
    He is divorced from actress Cathy Tyson.
    He is a self-proclaimed ‘pub poet’ and has read his poetry on television.
    His poetry is rubbish.
    (Example: 'I Want To Feel Your Bum'
    'I wanna feel your bum, but I know
    You'll slap me hand
    Every time I see you smile
    It makes me want to stand')
    He is proud that his on-stage stand-up persona is ruder than his on-screen persona in ‘Red Dwarf’ (definitely not something to be proud of!).
    He was arrested (later acquitted) on charges of raping his ex-girlfriend, a stripper (July 1994).
    He admitted to taking illegal drugs at the time of the alleged rape.
    After being found not guilty, he made an emotional appeal to the media regarding protecting the anonymity of accused rapists.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was acquitted of the rape charge in 90 minutes, as no forensic evidence was presented.
    His portrayal of the ignorant-yet-iconoclastic slob David Lister helped ‘Red Dwarf’ achieve worldwide cult status.
    He engages in campaigns to increase voter turnout at local elections.
    He worked with the Rainbow Trust, a charity that benefits sick children.
    While being held without bail on the rape charge, a fellow inmate attacked Charles with a homemade knife.
    Following the attack, Charles was granted bail.
