GARRETT MILLERICK

Garrett's built an AI of himself to see if it's better at comedy than him. Maybe he can finally retire?

A phenomenal stand-up comic, Garrett's breakout television performance was on the hit US late-night talk show Conan (TBS). The performance came off the back of his breakthrough live show Sunflower which became one of the best reviewed and most talked about shows of Edinburgh Fringe 2018. Garrett has since followed up the show with three further shows: Smile, Just Trying to Help and Never Had it So Good. All three shows transferred to London before touring the UK and have been recorded by 800 Pound Gorilla Records to stream and purchase internationally. In 2024 Garrett debuted Garrett Millerick Needs More Space at the Edinburgh Fringe.

In 2024 Garrett created, wrote and starred in his first sitcom, Do Gooders,on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. A six-part series set in the offices of a mid-level charity, the show boasted an incredible cast including Frank Skinner, Fay Ripley, Lisa McGrillis, Ahir Shah, Ania Magliano and Glenn Moore. The show received widespread critical acclaim and was named a critic's choice in publications including The Sunday Times, The Observer, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Daily Mail, The Radio Times and Chortle. He previously created and co-hosted hit podcast Laughable with Jayde Adams and Red Richardson which was picked by the Guardian as one of the funniest podcasts to listen to during the pandemic.
