Much of his major work has been in collaboration with some combination of Jessica Stevenson, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost.
Biography
Pegg was born in Gloucester and studied drama at the University of Bristol. In 1993 he moved to London and gigged on the stand-up comedy circuit before breaking into television comedy in Asylum, Six Pairs of Pants, Faith in the Future, Big Train and Hippies.
In 1999 he created and co-wrote the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced with Jessica Stevenson. For this project Pegg brought in Frost, his best friend who had no formal training as an actor.
