MC Hammersmith is a multi-award winning hip hop comedian.
He is the world's leading rapper to ever emerge from the ghetto of middle class west London. Now based in Edinburgh, he performs across the UK and internationally.
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 and John Bishop on tour.
His scripted hip hop comedy tracks have gone viral on numerous platforms, most notably racking up 100 million views on TikTok. Having started releasing videos during the first COVID-19 lockdown, he now boasts over half 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 Spontaneous Potter, Shamilton, and Baby Wants Candy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He is also a writer for acclaimed YouTube series Epic Rap Battles of History.
