Morton did stand-up comedy while at university; her first gig was in 2010 and in 2013 she reached the semi-finals of the Chortle Student Award.[4][5][6][7] When Morton performed at the Glasgow Comedy Festival the following year, she was picked as one of The List's 'up-and-coming female comedians'.[8] Morton made her Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2014 with her show titled 'Lollipop'.[9][10]
During Covid lockdowns, Morton began creating videos in the character of Craig, a jaded guide giving tours around cultural sites such as a whisky distillery. The viral videos resulted in "a wave of new fans",[11] and she was "one of the comedians to come out of lockdown with their reputation enhanced".[12] Morton's 2022 show, 'Eleanor Morton Has Peaked', drew on her experiences of lockdown.[11] She is a board member of The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society,[13] and co-hosted their 2021 Edinburgh Fringe show.[14]
Morton co-wrote and co-starred in The Rest of Us with Mary Flanigan and Esyllt Sears. The show was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2022 and was about marginalised figures in British history.[15]
