Oxfordshire’s Kaleb Cooper, who became famous as the standout personality on Clarkson’s Farm, is taking his talents to the next level with his own solo spin-off show titled The World According to Kaleb. Fans of the young farmer can finally catch the essence of his theatre tour on television as Prime Video presents the final performance from his national tour.
Filmed at the Cheltenham Everyman Theatre, this new special is packed with Kaleb’s unique observations and strong views on everything from sheep farming to why he believes farming is one of the best jobs out there. It also shines a light on the various challenges British farmers face today. After becoming Chipping Norton’s best-known farmer, thanks to his engaging exchanges with Jeremy Clarkson, Kaleb is ready to showcase his life and experiences beyond just the farm.
For Kaleb, being on stage was more than just performing; it was about making connections within the community and sharing his passion for farming. He expressed his gratitude for his recent theatre tour, saying, “I feel so lucky to have gone on this brilliant theatre tour – and to be the first farmer to be able to say this! I met some amazing people and had such a laugh with everyone who came along.” Kaleb’s enthusiasm is contagious, and his dedication to highlighting important agricultural issues is palpable.
Public interest has been high, with the sold-out national theatre tour documenting Kaleb’s life on and off the farm through 37 shows between January and March. It was noted for attracting standing ovations and accoladed by audiences, including notable supporters like Clarkson himself, who declared, “A star is born. What a show.” The tour culminated with a charity performance at the Chipping Norton Theatre, celebrating its 50th anniversary.
The show will be available on Prime Video starting November 29, allowing fans who couldn’t attend the live performances to experience the magic from the comfort of their homes. Audiences can expect to see more of Kaleb’s charisma coupled with thoughtful commentary on the agricultural sector, discussing why farmers are so passionate about their work.
Kaleb's rise to fame has not only brought him acclaim; it's raised questions about his financial success as well. With his television appearances, book sales, and active social media presence, many might wonder about his net worth. His company, Kaleb Cooper Productions, saw substantial growth, with assets nearly doubling from £122,000 to £242,000 within just one financial year. Meanwhile, his contracting business experienced similar prosperity, rising from £52,000 to £96,000. While exact earnings from his role on Clarkson’s Farm remain undisclosed, it’s clear he’s doing quite well for himself.
Recently, he released another book titled It’s a Farming Thing, intended to connect with younger audiences and showcase the positive aspects of farming. Kaleb emphasized the need to combat the negativity often associated with agriculture, stating, “Farming gets a lot of negativity... I feel drawn to help them [young fans], but also to highlight how farming is good for me.” This new venture reinforces his commitment to being more than just a TV personality—he wishes to educate and inspire the next generation of farmers.
With the release of The World According to Kaleb, viewers are set for not just entertainment, but also insights about farming life and the agricultural community at large. The special runs for approximately one hour and four minutes, providing both lighthearted moments and serious discussions about the realities faced by farmers today.
This new television venture promises to capture the essence of Kaleb's personality and passion, offering fans insights they can't find anywhere else.
