Born in Acocks Green, Birmingham, he was educated at Moseley School. He started his own folk club at 16 called "The Boggery" in Solihull, where he would perform folk songs as well as MC. Before long, his banter with the audience overtook the actual songs and he became known more as a comedian than a singer. He also worked as a musical agent (in partnership with Harvey Andrews), as Finger-Me-Gig, managing (among other bands) Decameron.
He had a surprise UK top 5 chart hit in 1975 with a novelty record called "Funky Moped" written by Chris Rohmann. The B-Side to this single was a risqué monologue parodying the animated children's TV series The Magic Roundabout. The latter was banned by the BBC, an action which is widely believed to have contributed to its commercial success.

Three weeks ago I was talking to a friend and Jasper Carrot's name came up. Some time ago my friend had partnered Jasper during a celebrity/amateur charity golf match. After the game they sat down and had a few drinks, and my friend stated that Jasper proved be a really top bloke. Coincidentally, my friend was plagued by moles on his, usually, pristine lawn. He used traps and all manner of things to get rid of them. In the end, a badger started digging his lawn up for worms and the moles cleared off. He is a bit of a wildlfie magnet, as he also had bats roosting in his garage. It was a bit of a worry when he was trying to sell the house.
