Current solo hour

The Meaning of Life, Maybe

Brand new hour. After a year of sold-out shows, an O2 Arena gig, and a proposal, everything went to shit. A heartwarming, hilarious show about how joy survives when your world collapses.

About George

From Kalamata to the O2

Luckily I discovered comedy. I now headline clubs across the UK, Europe, Dubai, and Australia. I've supported Jim Jefferies, Chris McCausland, Sophie Willan, and TJ Miller on tour, and performed everywhere from the Edinburgh Fringe to London's O2 Arena.
