Show presenter/designer/musician/producer Perry spent most of his school days creating fake-documentaries, preparing over the top fund-raising events and staging precisely-planned elaborate hoaxes all whilst his peers were in class (the insane convincing of an school-body that the grounds were about to implode due to a faulty sink had to be seen to be believed). But in the quiet moments between re-enacting famous music videos using only dinner-ladies and rearranging an entire library when everyone else went home Perry and his Great Britain? co-host Spud found themselves pondering over some of the greatest mysteries in the universe, often resulting in the most ridiculous and bewildering of answers. Thanks to the medium of podcasting they found an outlet in the form of Great Britain? where they could discuss their expansive views of the world as well as inviting the rest of the planet to join in.

Born in Kent - England, 1986 and born as the second child to a construction engineer father and a care-worker mother Perry spent his younger years staging unlikely street-plays based on films such as The Flintstones and Terminator. Living in various different parts of the country Perry craved creativity from a young age by learning to play the guitar at the age of six. After being part of many rock bands and performing in several high-school musicals Perry soon lusted for the world outside the classroom and in doing so left his studies early in late 2004 to pursue his dream of travelling the United States. After teaching guitar and music skills to young children and teenagers in New York and exploring the Americas Perry later returned to England and continued to bounce to and from various jobs, including the independent composition and production of music for student films and animations. In late 2006 Perry joined together with old school friend Spud to create a new comedy-chat podshow called The People's Podcast. After Perry's insistence that the name sounded more like a "...communist broadcast service" the creators compromised by changing the name to Great Britain? in homage to a pilot TV show in the vein of MTV's Jackass created by Spud many years before. After a series of six episodes including two holiday specials Great Britain? proceeded to expand its audience following its successful display of original comedy, quirky special guests, fan participation and unsigned musical acts.

Now in its second series Great Britain? continues to increase its international fan-base by introducing new features such as regularly updated video podcast episodes whereby the hosts take to the streets of England searching for answers from the British public, listener phone-ins and competitions as well as regular articles including What Gets Spud's Goat?

Perry currently resides in England where he continues to monitor the growth of the Great Britain? podcast as well as expanding various other projects.
