Comedy career [edit]

In 2010, at the age of 12, Carroll came to comedian Jason Manford's attention when he saw a video of Carroll performing at his parents' wedding anniversary. At Manford's invitation, Carroll gave a short performance at the start of Manford's live show in front of more than 1,400 people at St. George's Hall in Bradford.[4] The performance was featured on a segment of BBC One's The One Show.[5] [6] He performed with Manford again on 21 and 22 June 2013 at the Victoria Theatre in Halifax.[7]
