Okay, so you may be wondering: “Who is Uncle Bertie?”
Well, Uncle Bertie is actually two people…
Trampoline Bouncing With Uncle Bertie is an online project by Marcus Cross and Lee McAndrew featuring improvised and experimental comedy.
Marcus and Lee first met in 1999 in a silly internet message board, where they would waste many evenings and weekends sending each other (and other people) daft messages. Ahh, those were the days…
…anyway. After 10 years of hilarious internet comversations and co-writing a few insane stories together, they finally decided it was time to get together and actually do something together in person, seeing as they at least live in the same country.
As usual, Marcus is totally oblivious to what's going on, and is facing the wrong way
MARCUS CROSS
Born in 1978 in Bristol (England) to a half Welsh mother and a Full English Breakfast, not everything that Marcus says makes sense. Although he spends most of his time floating round in his own little world, he can be wise and sensible if he really puts his mind to it, it’s just the most of the time he can’t really be bothered.
Marcus lives (and has always lived) in rural Gloucestershire (England), and he loves it there.
Marcus is probably the more random and uncontrollable half of Uncle Bertie, and probably needs Lee around to stop him from totally flying off into another universe never to be seen again.
Characters played by Marcus include:
- Underpants Man
- Boring Norman
- Northern Man
- Simon Bumtrousers
- Tarquin
- Derek

LEE MCANDREW
As Marcus is unfortunately still waiting to reach puberty, Lee is the one with the deeper voice of the two. He has spent most of his life in rural Buckinghamshire, but now divides his time between Harrow and Watford. Lee is a big fan of alternative music (especially post-punk) and is proud to be a sci-fi geek. A passionate socialist, he has campaigned extensively against both testing products on midgets and the US and British troops’ illegal occupation of Milton Keynes.
Characters played by Lee include:
- Danny Fortnightly
- Doug the Astronaut
- The Car Mechanic
- Giles
- Dominus Gearstick
- Ethel Nipplebra
