Against all the odds, Barry & Tony, the characters that John-Luke Roberts and I created for this series of sketches on Instagram, have become a live sensation after their first on-stage outing at the Fringe this year. Bowing to immense industry pressure, we have decided to bring them back for a New Year’s Eve special […]

Announcing the full line-up and guest cast for our next Eggbox show at the Pleance Theatre in Islington on the 4th of November! We’ve got extracts of two brand new comedy scripts – the delightfully titled Really Good Party Boys by Andy Field & Kieran Murphy, and a new episode of The Many Wrongs of Lord Christian Brighty by […]

I’m the guest on the latest episode of Mike Fenton-Stevens’ My Time Capsule podcast! Thanks so much to Mike for having me on, it was a pleasure chatting through the various things I’d like to preserve for future enjoyment, and the one thing I’d like to bury forever and never forget. You can listen to the episode […]

Just a quick one to say a huge thank you to everyone who came down to the show for its Soho Theatre run last week – what a joy that was. I’ve been watching comedy in that room for nearly 15 years, and always hoped I might do my own show there one day. It […]

I really enjoyed guesting on Kevin Ryan’s Tyrant In Training podcast, where guests design their own fictional country. I devise an excellent way to incentivise good behaviour, a suitable punishment for treason, and a monument to all my achievements as Supreme Leader, or Best Boy. Thanks to Kevin for inviting me on! You can listen to the […]

I really enjoyed chatting to Nicholas Thompson for this interview for British Comedy Guide, and hope you all enjoy it! We discuss making comedy, Rob Brydon’s best work, splitting yourself in two and how to adopt a prog rock attitude to life in general. Thanks to Nicholas for taking the time to talk to me!

We’re excited to announce the first half of the lineup for our FIFTH Eggbox on November the 4th!

Tomorrow I’m making a guest appearance in Mr Cameron Goes To Ukraine, a comedy-drama written by Jonathan Banatvala and Stephen Dinsdale about the time David Cameron drove a lorry to Ukraine and got upset nobody recognised him. It stars Matt Forde, Shazia Mirza, Jemma Redgrave and Sheila Hancock and it was a pleasure to act alongside such […]

As promised, here’s the first bit of news about further performances of You Wait. Time Passes. outside of the Fringe! The multi-award-nominated, 5-star critically acclaimed sellout smash hit (I’m contactually obliged to always refer to it like that from now on) is coming to the Downstairs space at Soho Theatre from the 17th to the 20th […]

Look, if I’m completely honest, I have no idea how many people actually use the “News” tab on my website to keep up to date with my news. Because of that, I decided there was little point in carving out time during the Fringe to post updates on every little thing that happened with the […]
