Biography
Tony Gardner is an English actor and comedian who trained in medicine before turning to performing. Born in Ashton-under-Lyne, he qualified in medicine at Guy's Hospital in 1987 and became a general practitioner in 1993, then spent much of the 1990s combining medicine with comedy as half of the award-winning act Struck Off and Die with Phil Hammond.

Later roles include Professor Tony Shales in Fresh Meat in 2011, John across five series of Last Tango in Halifax between 2012 and 2020, and Lieutenant Colonel Phillip Smith in Bluestone 42, a wartime comedy.
