Starting on the standup circuit in the early '90s performing an act in character as a political poet, Eldon formed a friendship with the stand up comedian Stewart Lee, which would later lead to an invitation to work with Lee on the radio series Lee & Herring's Fist Of Fun with Lee's comedy partner Richard Herring.

Eldon's work sat well with that of Lee & Herring, and he continued to work with them on all their projects, including The Lee & Herring Radio Show, Fist of Fun and This Morning With Richard Not Judy, providing a multitude of characters, most notably: the jelly-obsessed False Rod Hull; and Simon Quinlank, the self-proclaimed "king of hobbies". He also played a version of himself, as The Actor Kevin Eldon. In addition to his Lee & Herring collaborations, he has worked closely with Simon Munnery and Julia Davis.
