John Lenahan
The voice of Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf
We regret to announce that John Lenahan is no longer appearing at Scifi Wales due to unforeseen circumstances. We appologise for any inconvenience or upset this may have caused.
John Lenahan came to Britain from his native Philadelphia for a short trip and has never quite made it back. John originally grabbed the headlines as the first person in 85 years to be expelled from the Magic Circle. The 3-card trick he exposed on How Do They Do That? is no more than a gambling con, but John took the rap and enjoyed the publicity.
2004 saw him starring in a new primetime BBC1 show, Secrets of Magic. His own BBC2 series, Stuff The White Rabbit, achieved record ratings for the slot. Other TV credits include presenting the travelogue Open Road, playing the voice of the toaster in Red Dwarf, and guest appearances on everything from TFI Friday to Celebrity Squares. He also fronted HoaxBusters, an ITV network show lifting the lid on scams and hoaxes.
John has performed onstage all over the world, from Beijing and Dubai to Dublin.
