Jon Richardson the Old Man

JON RICHARDSON THE OLD MAN

** BRAND NEW TOUR ANNOUNCED FOR 2017 ** Tickets now on sale!

“Jon Richardson is developing into a quietly sophisticated comedian who is at turns hilarious and disturbing and under no circumstances should you miss” - The Mirror “one of our most individual and interesting stand-ups”– The Times “sublimely brilliant, stunning…” – Time Out

Star of ‘8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown’, British Comedy Award nominee and runner-up in Heat Magazine’s ‘Weird Crush’ poll (not once, not twice but three times!!) Jon Richardson is back and embarking on a nationwide tour to complain about the state of the world and offer no solutions. ‘The Old Man’ is Jon’s highly anticipated return to stand-up comedy following his 2014 sell-out ‘Nidiot’ tour and will see him travel across the UK starting in February 2017, with more dates to be added. Tickets are on sale now!

Since his last show Jon has become a husband and father, seen the UK vote to leave the EU and watched the rise of Donald Trump, all of which leaves him asking one question; Why does it seem that no one else alive can correctly load a dishwasher?

Come and see what Jon Richardson can do with words when he has more than thirty seconds to work with. Or should that be “with which to work”?

Jon has been massively in demand for television and radio appearances including; 'Have I Got News For You’ (BBC ONE), ‘Live At The Apollo’ (BBC ONE), ‘Channel 4’s Comedy Gala Live At The 02’ and most recently ‘Taskmaster’ (DAVE).

A new series of '8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown' will air on Channel 4 this autumn. Jon has also filmed a new documentary for Channel 4 where he will be taking on his greatest fears and examining the truth behind them. ‘Dead Worried’ (working title) is due to air in November 2016.

Jon has released two live stand-up DVD’s: ‘Funny Magnet’ in 2012 and ‘Nidiot’ in 2014. Both DVDs are released through Universal Pictures (UK) and available to buy now. Also a successful author, Jon released ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ in 2012, published by HarperCollins.
