Garth Marenghi

Uncommon card · No. 80891

Garth Marenghi is a fictional horror author created by British comedian Matthew Holness. He is depicted as a conceited hack writer, who remains blissfully (or even wilfully) unaware of his lack of talent. Holness has used Marenghi as the framing device for a number of horror parody works, which the character presents as the products of his own supposed genius. The character has appeared in two stage shows, the Perrier Award-nominated Garth Marenghi's Fright Knight and Perrier Award-winning Garth Marenghi's Netherhead, and the Channel 4 TV series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and Man to Man with Dean Learner. After winning the Perrier Award, the creators confounded media sources by refusing to speak out of character, or give real names or backgrounds.
