TweetKarl Porter is a Manchester-based comedian, who went viral for his iconic slow-motion goal celebration. Known for his physical comedy and sharp observational humour, Karl brings high-energy storytelling inspired by football culture, everyday life, and modern British absurdities. His natural charisma and crowd-pleasing style make him a standout both online and on stage.
Karl was the winner of the King-Gong at The Comedy Store, Up-the-Creek Comedy competition in London, and the recipient of two awards at the 2024 North West Comedy Awards for Social Media Act and Breakthrough Act of the Year.
In 2023, Karl Porter shot to viral fame with his slow motion goal celebration, gaining over 50 Million views on his Instagram page alone. Following this, Karl appeared on BBC News, TalkSport, ESPN, New Zealand Breakfast, BT Canada, and performed at the launch of EA Sports 2023, opening the show before Rio Ferdinand took to the stage. Lad Bible nominated Karl as their 2023 “Lad of The Year."

Olga was Fantastic and £5 is a bargain. The Piper could be a great small venue for comedy but the chairs could be better and more thought to the atmosphere created.

Venue was rubbish, the music was playing so loud upstairs you could not hear the gig very well! They either need to keep the volume down or don’t bother with it as a venue! Charlie was very good, and very interesting watching his work in progress. Such a shame I was the only audience member! And that is not a reflection in Charlie, probably just the venue!
