He has also performed in Holland, Sweden, Norway, USA, Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia and New Zealand.

He has made numerous appearances on late night talk shows; including Letterman and Conan O'Brian shows, as well as his own half hour special on HBO produced by comedy central.
