Stade appeared on Frankie Boyle's stand-up show The Boyle Variety Performance in August 2012, and recorded a live DVD at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London (released in autumn 2013). His 2013 UK tour show was called Totally Rocks.

In October 2022 Stade appeared on the Triggernometry podcast.[5]

In September 2024 Stade was awarded an honorary doctorate of arts by the University of Wolverhampton.[6]
