Jon presents his new show, The Knitwit

Jon Richardson has been referred to as an OCD-afflicted grumpy young man - a description which will strike chords with anybody who's ever caught the 40-year-old’s hugely entertaining act. 

A familiar television face, Jon is married to fellow comedian Lucy Beaumont, with whom he stars in Dave TV’s Meet The Richardsons - a semi-fictional (and inevitably very funny) account of their life together. 

His currently touring show, The Knitwit, which he’s bringing to Birmingham this month, sees him asking some of life’s big questions: Will the recycling be put out on the right day? Who is going to smooth over the top of the margarine? How many lights are on upstairs when everybody is downstairs?

“I'm neurotic by nature,” admits Jon, “but I'm wary of becoming more of a play than a comic. You don't want people coming to see a man having a breakdown for two hours. I'd prefer them coming to hear my astute and witty observations.”
