Horatio Gould

Horatio Gould made his name during lockdown, when his online sketches found an enormous audience seemingly overnight, racking up tens of millions of views and turning him into one of the sharpest comic voices to emerge from that period. A medieval spoof of modern male podcasting culture and a rapid-fire run through every 2000s TV show became standout hits, cementing his reputation with a Gen-Z fanbase who mostly know him through those clips, and through his hit podcast Boys Gone Wild.

Online success aside, Horatio is a stand-up comedian at heart. He first stepped on stage at 18, getting his start at university open mic nights, and has built his live career from there ever since. He's appeared on Comedy Central LIVE, and his debut solo show sold out its entire Edinburgh Fringe run, extra dates included, before heading out on a UK tour and later being released as a full special. He's also taken to the road as tour support for Frankie Boyle.

Behind the camera, Horatio co-created the web series Fin vs The Internet, viewed tens of millions of times across social platforms, and has directed two of Seann Walsh's comedy specials. Together, his work across live stand-up, digital comedy and directing has made him one of the most versatile young comic talents working today, equally at home performing at a corporate event, hosting an awards ceremony, or writing for the screen.
