His TV stand-up appearances include Live At The Apollo (BBC Two), The Royal Variety Performance (ITV1), The Russell Howard Hour (Sky One), Live at the Comedy Store (Comedy Central), and Conan (TBS).

Ed’s hugely popular UK tour of his Edinburgh Festival Fringe show Blizzard has been twice extended due to extraordinary demand across the run.
