A sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2005 with the sketch group Big Day Out (**** The Scotsman) led to a small 14-year break from comedy before his debut stand-up This. Is. Not. Normal. in 2019, during which somebody called an election. His second tour, Who Is In Charge Here?, only had to deal with a war and the collapse of the government. He managed to get through his third tour, Poll Dancer, in 2024 just before someone else called an election.
