Who is Jon Richardson

Jon Richardson (born September 26, 1982, Lancaster, Lancashire, UK) is a Swindon based British comedian who entered stand-up in May 2003 and with his first ever live performance he progressed to the regional finals of that year's BBC New Talent Comedy Search. He marked the end of his first year in comedy by becoming one of six acts to reach the final of the J2O sponsored Last Laugh Competition where he performed for an audience including Jasper Carrot at the Criterion Theatre in London's West End. He has also supported Alan Carr.

Within just a year and a half he had realised his dream and was working nation-wide as a full-time comic. Consistently high levels of performance, a willingness to work whenever and wherever the opportunity arose and a tireless desire to generate new material have been the secrets of Jon's success.

He now works regularly at Brighton Komedia, Just The Tonic Nottingham, The Glee Club and Bristol's Comedy Box and Jesters. He has performed at festivals in Leeds, Guildford and Bristol and has headlined university gigs for Off The Kerb and Avalon. Abroad he has compered in the French Alps, headlined in Barcelona and performed a one-man show in Greece.

Jon was nominated for the if.comedy award Best Newcomer 2007 after his eagerly anticipated debut show at Edinburgh. He didn't win but being nominated out of over 350 different comedy shows was a huge achievement in itself.
