History Of Swearing” and “A Surprisingly Tasteful Show About Nudity,” presents his first spoken word show, trialled on the Free Fringe for a week at Edinburgh Fringe 2013, and now playing a full run at The Stand’s new venue, Stand V.

A 55-minute ode to travel and lost love performed entirely in verse, Cars And Girls was recently a hit at Melbourne Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe and New Zealand Comedy Festival.

Directed by Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Phil Nichol, it is a paean to wanderlust and youthful lust, to growing up, and to encountering humanity in the strangest of situations.

In 2013 he won the Best Comedy Award at Fringe World in Perth, and in 2012 the Amused Moose Award for Best Comedy at Edinburgh Fringe. His 2008 show was placed in Three Weeks’ Top 10 Fringe Experiences and awarded an Editors’ Choice Award.
