He has taken several well received shows to the Edinburgh Festival. (“His phrasing is joyous and his choice of words close to poetic…tales of hilarious woe” – Metro)
In 2022 he embarked upon a successful joint-headline tour with his Russell Howard Hour co-writer Steve Williams, with further tour dates planned for the latter part of 2023. He is due to release a filmed show with the hugely respected comedy production company Go Faster Stripe.

We Are Klang were nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show in 2006, and the Barry Award at 2007’s Melbourne Comedy Festival.
