    In August 2017 he performed at the 70th Edinburgh Festival Fringe with The Etiquette Show: Much Ado About Everything[11] with one reviewer calling Hanson's performance "gently camp and very debonair".[12]

    Podcast[edit | edit source]

    Hanson currently hosts a podcast called Help I Sexted My Boss with BBC Radio 1 presenter and friend Jordan North and Ben Cartwright ('Producer Ben').
