He has previously played to sold out crowds at the world-famous West End Palladium Theatre and performed alongside Dave Chappelle for Dave Chappelle and Friends directed by Stan Lathan in 2018 which subsequently led to him supporting Chappelle in London as part of his world tour.

Accolades & Praise
Travis did a great job. He was professional and confident and we really liked his stand-up. We would be interested in having him back next year, he was that good.
I just want to say a massive thank you for hosting the UK Entertainment Awards. I know you will go far in your career. Keep making people laugh. The award show would have not been a success without your presence.
Definitely one to watch
