He has starred in two widely-acclaimed Comedy Central specials, "A Wee Bit O' Revolution" and "Does This Need To Be Said," which was released on Home Video this Fall.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Ferguson started his career as a drummer for what he calls "some of the worst punk bands in the U.K.," and has been made an honorary citizen of towns and cities across America, including tiny Prairie Home, Nebraska (population 28).
