Jon Richardson, star of Dave’s ‘Ultimate Worrier' and team captain on Channel 4’s ‘8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown’, plus runner-up in Heat Magazine’s ‘Weird Crush’ poll (not once, not twice but three times!!) is ready to take on the state of the world, complain a little and offer absolutely no solutions in his brand new live stand-up show.
Released on DVD and digital download on Monday 19th November, JON RICHARDSON: OLD MAN LIVE see’s one of the UK’s favourite comedians return to the live comedy stage with his signature brand of side-splitting yet fastidious humour.
OLD MAN delves in to the last few years of Jon’s life, bringing the audience along with him on the life-changing journey. Jon has left the perennial single life behind and 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?
Filmed on the final night of Jon’s colossal critically-acclaimed 158 date sell out UK and Ireland tour at the historic Grand Theatre in Blackpool, Jon tackles all subjects and frustrations with his own distinctive perspective. No stone is left unturned as he hysterically takes on everything from haircuts, social media, weddings, pregnancy and the difference between the sexes, while providing some tremendous life tips along the way.
Away from stand-up, Jon is constantly in demand on television and radio. His recent work includes: 'Have I Got News For You’ (BBC One), occasional host of ‘The One Show’ (BBC One), ‘Live At The Apollo’ (BBC One), ‘Taskmaster’(Dave), 'Insert Name Here' (BBC Two) and 'Would I Like To You' (BBC One).
Jon also starred in the Channel 4 documentary series ‘Jon Richardson’s Guide To The End Of The World’ in 2017, which saw Jon take on his greatest fears and examine the truth behind them.
Jon has previously released two live stand-up DVD’s: ‘Funny Magnet’ in 2012 and ‘Nidiot’ in 2014. Both DVDs areavailable to buy now.
So button up that cardigan, take a seat and see why Jon Richardson is one of the country’s most cherished comedy talents in this must-have DVD and download- the perfect gift for all comedy fans this Christmas.
Jon Richardson co-hosts The One Show on Friday, October 5.
