‘An explosive show that left people with bellies aching from laughter’ Voice Magazine

'Mildly laddish, but self deprecating stories all delivered with an irresistible twinkle... This (extremely) young stand-up is poised to be the next bright, young sensation on the circuit - expect to hear a lot more of him' (The Guardian)

'Hilarious and charming' (The Daily Mirror).

Beat the Frog and Won Ten Feet Tall Gong winner with cleaver sharp jokes and hilariously ill-fated

anecdotes.

After winning the Nottingham Comedy Festival ‘Newcomer to Comedy’ competition after just a handful of gigs, Carl has gone on to reach the semi finals of Amused Moose Laugh Off 2011, win both Manchester and Preston ‘Beat the Frog’ competitions at the first attempt and survived the dreaded gong at the Manchester Comedy Store. As a regular member of Nottingham’s top improvised comedy group ‘MissImp’, Carl can also be seen at their monthly residence at Nottingham’s ‘Glee Club’, bringing a unique brand of quick wit and occasionally rude, laddish humour to an otherwise enlightening and informative evening.
