“Johnny Vegas found that ‘life got in the way’ and art became ‘an unfinished part of my story’.
“He recently rediscovered his artistic talent, saying that flight, faith and fear of failure are subjects currently most fluent in his work.”
Johnny, who was born in St Helens, Merseyside, spent 11 years playing Geoff Maltby on the beloved TV show Benidorm.
The comedian has also entertained fans on shows such as 8 out of 10 Cats with Jimmy Carr and on Keith Lemon’s Celebrity Juice.
