Milton Jones

With his non-stop barrage of puns, gags, jokes and one-liners, Milton Jones hits his audiences with punch lines that are as fast, powerful and effective as a well-timed blow by a world-class boxer! The result of either knock-out may cause sore ribs, but in Milton's case only because of the laughter!

Milton won the Perrier comedy award for best newcomer in 1996, and is nowadays a regular performer at The Comedy Store in London and Manchester, though he also tours the UK occasionally; these live tours have been hugely successful - his Lion Whisperer Live tour played to over 100,000 people in 2011. Three DVDs of his tours are available: Live Universe Tour Part 1-Earth (2009); Lion Whisperer (2011); On The Road (2013).

He describes his live act as "weaving threads of ideas with the tatters of his life, to fashion a uniquely fetching jumper of obscurity" - whatever that means! He certainly conjures up truly ridiculous images and finds hidden meaning in the most mundane phrases.

Milton kicked off his TV career back in 1996 with a spot on the seminal ITV show Saturday Live, continuing with the likes of Planet Mirth, three series of The Comedy Store and as a panellist on both Tibs and Fibs and Bring Me The Head of Light Entertainment for Channel 5. More recently, he has been a recurring guest panellist on Mock the Week (BBC2), and has also been seen on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow (BBC1) and Live at the Apollo (BBC1). He was also a regular writer on BBC1's flatshare sitcom Not Going Out, as well as penning various shows on BBC Radio 4, including The Very World of Milton Jones - where his wonderful use of language has been regularly showcased.

Do not be fooled by his dishevelled appearance: Milton Jones has a razor sharp wit and a hugely entertaining personality that appeals to audiences across the spectrum.
