Dirty Sanchez

Joyce's role in Dirty Sanchez is not as practical as the others. He is the only Englishman in the group, making him something of a black sheep when considering the other members' strong Welsh accents. He is well known for his distinctive laugh, something which the other members of Dirty Sanchez have likened to a "machine gun", and is often clad in fake Burberry clothing, mostly in the form of shirts, jackets or boxers.

On the DVD for the first series, a psychologist says that Joyce seems more committed in laughing at and encouraging the rest of the crew's acts than participating, though he does often participate. On some occasions the rest of the crew have mentioned that Joyce cannot take a joke properly, as seen when a man tries to throw him into a tub full of ragworms; Joyce lashes out at him for dirtying his £240 Burberry jacket, but is placated by the others. Joyce denies these claims, and simply says that "If it doesn't seem fun, I'm not going to do it".

Stunts

As opposed to performing some of the more pain-related stunts, Joyce is far more willing than the other Sanchez members to performing acts involving ingestion, which include drinking Pancho's fat from the non-anaesthetic liposuction done as part of the movie, eating the end of Pritchard's little finger after having it chopped off (which he spat out), eating pubic hair on a pizza and (attempting) to drink a glass of sweat collected from the Dirty Sanchez team. He is also well known for stunts that end up involving him eating his own, or other people's, vomit.

Other appearances

He is featured in the Gumball 3000 documentary film 3000 Miles .

He is also featured in a Nitro Circus episode along with Bam Margera where he is seen filming Travis Pastrana and friends doing a base jump from a hotel.

He appears in the song "Check out my Subaroo", in which is he is emceeing. [3] The song is a mockery of "boy racers" and "ricers".

He appears in the video for "Raver" by Shy FX at 1:48 in, he is on a skateboard miming the lyrics to the song. He also appeared at 3:02 staring at the camera whilst sitting on a park bench.

He was the director and photographer the web series titled The Lazy Generation on the YouTube channel of Comedy Central UK.

Personal life

Joyce married his girlfriend Suzie Hogan in June 2012. Their first daughter was born in 2015. In February 2015, Joyce suffered from a heart attack. [4]

It was the band's first album not to be recorded as a five-piece, as John 5 departed from the group in 2004. Instead of replacing 5, Tim Sköld remained with bass and played guitar, and the band continued as a four-piece. Manson has stated that he sang most of the album lying down on the studio floor with his hands cupping the studio microphone, resulting in a very distinctive vocal sound. Of Sköld's compositions, a further two are said to have been turned into fully-fledged songs with lyrics, music and vocals completed but were not put onto album for fear of making it overwrought.
