He has won first place at the notorious King of the Gong show at the Comedy Store and received the One to Watch award at the well-established club Up the Creek which earned him the reputation of an outstanding newcomer. He is currently a finalist in Next Up’s competition Live or Die.

As an actor, he has trained in Scotland and Malta.

He is currently working on his debut work-in-progress stand-up comedy show Hi, my name is Immigrant which will premiere on the Brighton, Cambridge and Camden Fringe before being taken to Edinburgh for the 2023 Fringe festival.
