[edit] Edinburgh Fringe and stand-up comedy
Trevor Lock has had many appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe. In 1997 he appeared in Excavating Rita a play written by, and starring a naked Richard Herring. A founder member and co-host of the comedy cabaret Kool Eddy's in London, Trevor took the show to the Edinburgh Fringe in 1998. In 1999 Trevor Lock appeared in Number One Show with Daniel Kitson and Andrew Maxwell at the Gilded Balloon, Cowgate. The same year he performed his play Friday Night At The End Of The World.
Lock returned to the Fringe the following year (2000) with two plays, There's Something You Should Know starring a young Russell Brand and All By Myself which also featured Brand as the voice of a New-Yorker TV set. Trevor received 5-star reviews for his play 'What You Really Want' at the Pleasance in 2001.
In 2006 Trevor Lock performed his first solo stand-up Edinburgh Fringe show, When I was a Little Girl The Very Best of Trevor Lock, at the Gilded Balloon Teviot Wine Bar, [1] 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 'Udderbelly'.

Trevor Lock and top hat promoter Paul Foot also host a weekly talent show in London called Star Search.
[edit] Radio
Lock appears with Russell Brand and Matt Morgan on Brand's Saturday night BBC Radio 2 show, and appeared alongside the pair on Brand's Sunday morning show on BBC 6 Music.
He is often mocked, almost bullied, on the Russell Brand Radio Show, where he is referred to by the nickname Trevor 'Cocky' Locky.[3] Themes this mocking takes includes Trevor being accused of cruelty to animals and of lying. This is usually taken in jest by Trevor Lock, although listeners have recently expressed concern that this mocking is showing a bad example to younger listeners. Trevor is often told by Brand to "EAT YOUR FUDGE!" This is due to Brand's belief that you can claim that anything is going on on air because no-one can see the people in the studio.
[edit] Television
Lock regularly appeared in the Lee and Herring BBC Sunday lunchtime show, This Morning With Richard Not Judy. He was mocked weekly by Stewart Lee for having a small face, but was not allowed to speak as this would mean him having to be paid more.
