He has fronted a few comedy bands and sings and writes for The Rudy Vees. He podcasts on the Chelsea FanCast every week, talking about Chelsea F.C. and doing the Chelsea Fanbite for the FanCast.

Career

Kydd's first acting role was in the 1962 British comedy film The Iron Maiden, in which he appeared aged 6 with his father. He also appeared in a 1989 AA commercial which ran for four years as the man who had his car buried in the sand,[1] and appeared in numerous radio and television series including Pipkins, Chambers, Dial M For Pizza, Flying the Flag, The Quest, Jonathan Creek, Trial and Retribution, The Castle, The Attractive Young Rabbi and Cabin Pressure. He wrote 23 comedy songs for the comedian Brian Conley when he was appearing in his Saturday evening show in the early nineties, one of which was on the 1994 Royal Variety Show. He has written four musicals, one of which, Hey Get a Life, was on at the St Andrews Lane Theatre in Dublin in 2000 which he also directed. His musical The Hard Boiled Egg and the Wasp, about the Victorian comedian Dan Leno, was on at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre in 2012. His later musical, written like the previous one with Andy Street, was Doodle the Musical, which was on at Waterloo East; his father Sam Kydd was in it as a character. He appeared on Talking Pictures TV talking about his father on "Sam Kydd day" when they showed nine of the 290 films made by his father between 1945 and 1982.

Kydd has acted in many sitcoms, including One Foot in the Grave and three series of Smith and Jones as one of the "pals". He voiced the cult Ferrero Rocher Ambassador's Reception television advertisement.[2] His 2007 short film Ahaarrrr appeared at seventeen international film festivals, winning several awards.[3] His most recent short is Shakespeare's Wart in 2012.

Kydd has voiced over 12,000 adverts, promos, documentaries, corporate videos, and CD-ROM games, and has dubbed many films and TV programmes. He was the voice for L'Oreal adverts in the early 2000s. He is a regular voice for Film4, and voices many wildlife documentaries. He writes and provides vocals with comedy band The Rudy Vees, having been in The Amazing Singing Dentists, The Bay Citee Molars and The Kondos, who appeared on the finals of New Faces in 1988, and played in his own band Jonny Kydd, for whom he recorded a song for the Chelsea F.C. called "Chelsea Blue". His album Eggshell Heart was released in 2005, followed by his Bay Citee Molars album Dentura Highway in 2009. His Rudy Vees album The Fists of Harmonious Righteousness has three videos recorded from it: "King of Thongs", "My Baby's Possibly a Vampire" and "Dance Like My Dad". In 2019, Kydd released two tracks with music videos; "Posh", a 1930s grime track described as "a bizarrely brilliant work of art", and "Order (Song for John Bercow) (Hp Sauce Dance Mix)", an electro dance track singing the praises of the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow.[4]

From 1997, Kydd was the voice of Paddington Bear in The Adventures of Paddington Bear. In 2016-20, he voiced Big Ears, Fuse, Scurvy, the Ninjas and the Dim Knight in Noddy, Toyland Detective. Other animated programmes and films he voiced include two series of Mr. Bean: The Animated Series, Warren United, Hilltop Hospital, the first series of Bimble's Bucket, Asterix Conquers America, The Beano Video, The Beano Videostars, Bangers and Mash and Astro Farm. He also lent his voice to an animated pilot called Knots in the Wood which was never released. He was also one of the voices on the Lenny the Letter educational videos produced by Royal Mail, dating back to 1991. Every week he talks football on the Chelsea FanCast podcast, and does the two-minute Chelsea Fanbite.[4]

Kydd's first video game role was Edmund Lucy Fentible, the DoorBot in the 1998 video game Starship Titanic.
