A regular performer on the London circuit getting regular paid spots and MC work and am “definitely a name to keep tabs on.” (Bruce Dessau). “Radiating comic innocence and making great play on his schoolboy looks” (Chortle) my anecdotal and self-deprecating style of comedy secured me a place in the final of the Amused Moose Comedy’s National New Comic Final Award in 2017, the semi-final of the So You Think You’re Funny 2017 competition, The Laughing Horse New Act Of The Year Final in 2018 and I secured the runner up Union Jack Radio award at the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2021.
