Hovis Presley (3 August 1960 - 9 June 2005) was an English poet and stand-up comedian from Bolton noted for his down to earth humour. He was born Richard Henry McFarlane but took his stage name as a play on Elvis Presley and the brand of bread Hovis. He died in 2005 after a short illness brought on by a heart attack. Hovis Presley began writing poems and sketches as a teenager but only ventured out onto the North West comedy circuit at the age of 29. Wikipedia
