John has multiple TV credits including Comedy Central, RTE, WWE, Virgin Media, Now TV and he headlined the season 1 finale of Craic Den TV.

John was nominated for both BEST PERFORMER and SPIRIT OF THE WIT at the 2024 Dublin Fringe. John is also a filmmaker and was one of the 2021 SXSW Film delegates.
