I was recently nominated for the Neurodiverse Representation Award 2022 at the Edinburgh Fringe and was a West End New Act of the Year Quarter Finalist. I have also recently performed at Manfords (supporting Rob Deering), Nottingham Theatre Royal, for Sion James (headliner Lloyd Griffiths), Funhouse Comedy, and for Howard Walker (headliner Nina Gilligan), Matty Oxley (20), Laugh out Loud (Opening), Kev’s comedy Club, Rofl Comedy Club, Anthony J Brown, and for (Opere) Just The Tonic.

Looking Ahead to 2024: I am eagerly anticipating 2024 as I aim to support other disabled comedians in achieving their goals. My goal is to provide them with opportunities similar to what I have experienced. From assisting in crafting their comedy CV to helping design shows for Edinburgh or smaller festivals, I am dedicated to guiding them through the process.

Promoting Disability Awareness: I have successfully secured several rounds of funding for my disability awareness gameshow, Blue Badge Bunch. For more information on this initiative, you can explore the main menu on my website.
