He first appeared as a comic on The 11 O’Clock Show on Channel 4 from 1998. He has since hosted the Golden Globe Awards five times, from 2010 to 2020.
The three Wembley nights were the arena half of his London autumn. They sat alongside a run at The London Palladium that closed on Saturday 8 November.
