”One of the best MCs in the business’

BBC Radio 4

He has rare range — from effervescent festival main stages to the most serious rooms in the country. Trusted by institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge and Tate Modern, he creates an atmosphere that’s stimulating, accessible and alive.

”Elegant, vivacious and hilarious’
The Scotsman

Voted Best Entertainment five years running (2021–2025) at Shambala Festival for the joyful chaos of the ShambOlympics, he can pair warmth and comedic instinct with intellectual clarity.

He produces and hosts conversations that define our moment. He curates and presents Thinking Deeply, a collaboration between Oxford University’s Wadham College, and The Ned London that foregrounds the humanities at times of technological change.

Recent interviewees include Christopher Summerfield – Research Director of The UK AI Safety Institute, comedian Katherine Ryan on authenticity and misinformation (at King’s College Cambridge) and artists such as Jarvis Cocker and Gavin Turk.

Last year, he also hosted events for Anya Hindmarch, Chanel, Google and MI6 (yes really).

He is the regular MC of a fashion show for dogs, the cricket at Wilderness Festival and many festival main stages.

He has appeared on radio4/6music/bbc iplayer, and in the Independent, Vice and Sunday Times.
