Comedy In 2011, Peart became a regular on the UK comedy circuit while studying for his degree. In 2012 he took part in the
BBC New Comedy Award and
Chortle Student Comedian of the Year Award. Peart replaced comic Helen Keeler for a gig in 2015 after she was dropped for "being a woman". Taking a stand against sexism in comedy, Peart and fellow comics refused to perform unless Keeler was reinstated. In 2017, Peart became the
warm-up on
ITV's daily magazine panel-show
Loose Women. In October 2021, he spoke out regarding the stereotypes he has received as an openly gay stand-up comic, stating audiences "expect a certain style of comedy based purely on his sexuality". He also notes that as a gay comic he felt he always has to address his
sexual identity, stating "If we don't, we'll never have the audience on our side, they'll always be on edge." In 2022, Peart supported
Jason Manford on his UK stand-up tour. On 3 July 2022, it was announced that
Loose Women will bring back their studio audience for the first time since the
COVID-19 pandemic, and Peart would be returning as their resident warm-up. In 2023/2024, Peart supported
Judi Love on her UK tour. In 2024, he supported
Lloyd Griffith on his UK tour, and he supported
Ellie Taylor on her 2025 UK tour.
