His recent online sketches have garnered tens of millions of views across Instagram and TikTok, as well as a nomination for the Chortle awards 2024. In 2017 his debut hour at the Edinburgh Fringe, Anthem For Doomed Youth, saw him become one of the youngest ever nominees for the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer, and netted him a position as the co-host of BBC Radio 1's first piece of comedy commissioning for ten years. That same year he was nominated for the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year award. His 2018 sophomore show, An Aesthetic, sold out its entire run at the Edinburgh Fringe and he performed the show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2019, where he also featured in their prestigious opening night gala on ABC. His follow-up show, Jokes of Love and Hate, received widespread critical acclaim and was awarded pick of the Edinburgh fringe by critics from both The Times and The Scotsman.

In 2024 Ed completed his debut tour, Rise and Smile, which began in his hometown of Streatham and ended in Copenhagen and Belfast. Later that year he made his highly anticipated return to the Edinburgh Fringe, his first since 2019, with his show The Plunge. The show received critical acclaim and was one of the best reviewed shows of the festival as well being listed by Rolling Stone as one of The 12 Stand Out Shows of Edinburgh Fringe 2024.

His writing has been featured on shows such as The Mash Report, 8 out of 10 Cats, The News Quiz, Mock the Week, and Comedy Central's Roast Battle, on which he also appeared. He's lent his skills as an actor to many strange and intense characters in some of the country's most popular comedy shows, most recently playing The Pot Hole Man in BBC 3's Broadcast Award-winning Zen Motoring, White Luther in Channel 4's Complaints Department, and recurring character Karl Fink in BBC Radio 4's Icklewick FM.

"He really belongs on stage - and owns it like it’s the Palladium."
The Daily Telegraph
"So bleakly funny... you felt winded"
The Guardian
"As far as comedy goes, he's pretty much cracked it"
The Scotsman
"Ed Night stands at the dawn of the new age of stand up... he has no right to be as good as he is"
