He's supported the likes of Luke Kidgell, Tom Stade and Fin Taylor, and his stand-up and podcast clips have picked up over 100 million views online, earning him a spot on Rolling Stone's list of "Rising Stars to See"
His sharp, original and relatable material has earned him high praise, with reviewers saying:
