devilsaardvark /ˈɑːdvɑːk/orycteropus obstreperus / noun.
As devil’s advocate, only with a much larger nose.
As well as being a ravenous insectivore with powerful front paws designed for digging, I write, perform and teach, specialising in theatre-in-education. With a BA in Community Theatre Arts and as a qualified teacher, I can also help anyone who finds themselves required to engage in public speaking and who is suffering from mild glossophobia. Or anyone needing to improve their English GCSE grade. And those powerful front paws... I prefer to use them to play the guitar and bass. And I'd rather have a fillet steak and glass of syrah than stuff my snout into an anthill. There are, after all, far more interesting places to stick an oversized nose...
