In 2011, Widdicombe was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

Widdicombe also won the TV quiz Celebrity Mastermind in 2013 and donated his winnings to The Lily Foundation, which supports those with mitochondrial disease.
During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, Widdicombe co-hosted the podcast Parenting Hell with comedian Rob Beckett. He is also the author of the book Watching Neighbours Twice a Day... How '90s TV (Almost) Prepared Me for Life, which became a Sunday Times bestseller.
