Ryan Swain the actor behind The Yorkshire Grinch said

"I am a huge fan of Jim Carey and have always been compared to a younger version of him since I was child, I can impersonate him well and do all of his mannerisms and expressions as they are with me on a day to day basis as it is. To bring this character a live is a dream come true and I look forward to bringing as much festive cheers and sneers to peoples lives as I can locally and nationally."
