Johnny Vegas has a son named Michael Pennington Jr. There isn’t much information about his son on the internet as he likes to keep his personal life away from the internet.

Vegas made his television debut in 1996 on “Win, Lose or Draw,” revealing his ambition to become a comedian under his real name. However, the stage name “Johnny Vegas” soon took center stage. His popularity soared as a regular member of “Shooting Stars,” where he portrayed a pitiable character nursing a pint of Guinness.

Over the years, Vegas graced various television roles, including Moz in the dark comedy “Ideal,” Geoff Maltby (“The Oracle”) in the sitcom “Benidorm,” and Eric Agnew in the revived “Still Open All Hours.” He became a familiar face on panel shows like “QI” and “8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.”

In 2002, Vegas ventured into radio with the BBC Radio 4 sitcom “Night Class,” showcasing his comedic prowess in pottery classes. His filmography includes roles in movies like “The Virgin of Liverpool,” “Sex Lives of the Potato Men,” and lending his voice to characters in animations like “The Harry Hill Movie” and “Early Man.”
