Chloe returned to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer with her new show If You Can’t Say Anything Nice which sold-out in the first week of the festival which led to adding 6 extra shows. Last year she performed her debut show Transience to sold-out audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and for two 5-night runs at Soho Theatre, which led to a tour around the rest of the UK which ended with extra date added at London’s Leicester Square Theatre.

Guardian,The Telegraph, The Evening Standard. With 5 stars from Gwendolyn Smith (The i) describing the show as a “barnstormer of a Fringe debut.”

His 2020 mockumentary ‘The U2 Taken Paradox’ has had over a million views and angered legions of loyal U2 fans.
His musical parody videos also have views in the millions on TikTok and Instagram.
He has written for Spitting Image and Alex Edelman’s BBC Radio 4 show Peer Group. He also wrote the jokes on McFly’s guitar plectrums on their 2022 arena tour.
