I was selected to do the Bound & Gagged showcase show 'AAA Stand Up Late' for the full run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016 (Pleasance Courtyard).

I Co-Hosted the 'Stephen K Amos Talk Show' , along side Stephen himself, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016 (Gilded Balloon) & appeared as a guest on the talk show in 2015.

I performed at the legendary comedy night 'LATE N LIVE' at the Gilded Balloon (Debating Hall) at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2015 and late night show 'SPANK!' in 2016.

I recorded a stand-up set that was then broadcasted on 'BBC Radio 4 Extra'.

My credits include when I was 15 I won 'Best Joke' in a Mock the week competition and also won 'Best gag' for a online competition in 2011 for Teenage Cancer Trust's comedy benefit night at the Royal Albert Hall (both of these were before I started doing stand up).
