Denis Grindel says he's always been a performer. After all, he's Irish. It's in his blood.
'I love telling stories,' says Grindel. 'It's a big part of my culture.'

These days Grindel is traveling around the United States as the narrator with the British import THE CHOIR OF MAN. The show, which is the brainchild of Andrew Kay and Nic Doodson, the creators of GOBSMACKED!, premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland a year and a half ago and has been touring around Europe and Australia ever since.
