Currently, the founder and co-director of Scotland's first and only LGBT radio station, Xpress Radio Scotland (www.xpressradio.scot).  

 

Benedict Garrett has become one of the world's most prolific campaigners for greater sexual liberalism and a fundamental shift in our national psyche towards issues related to sex and sexuality.  

 

He's a former-teacher who is now an internationally recognised 'sexual activist', who has spoken on TV and radio stations all around the world, written a column for 'The Guardian' newspaper and been an invited speaker for university debates at Cambridge, Oxford, Trinity College Dublin and Queen Mary College, London.  

 

As well as a solo performer for The Dreamboys, Benedict has been a professional actor, having appeared on TV, film and theatre.  

 

He is probably most well known for being the curry-spiking, chair-lifting, 'Masturbating Messiah' from 'Big Brother 2012'.
