In his live shows, MC Hammersmith performs improvised hip hop comedy. He is a freestyle rapper – meaning he raps spontaneously, unscripted, with absolutely no preparation. The lyrics and rhymes of his raps are 100% improvised and based entirely on audience suggestions. In this guise he has won numerous comedy awards, sold out multiple consecutive runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and supported Jason Manford on his arena tour of the UK.

His scripted hip hop comedy tracks have gone viral on numerous platforms, most notably racking up 100 million views on TikTok and Instagram. Having started releasing videos during the first COVID-19 lockdown, he now boasts nearly a million followers across social media.
He is also an improvisational comedian in some of the world’s biggest touring improv shows – he can frequently be spotted improvising with Shamilton and Baby Wants Candy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In addition to this, he is a writer for acclaimed YouTube series Epic Rap Battles of History.
