It had a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe and three sell-out runs at the Soho Theatre in London.
His second show Sad Gay Aids Play received rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe, selling out every night and was nominated for the Uprise Award. The show toured across the UK before transferring to Soho Theatre for a sold-out week of shows.
