Adam Staunton

"Short, likeable stage persona with unbelieveable confidence, keep an eye out for him!" - Sam Avery, Chortle, 2008

Since his first gig in December 2007 Adam Staunton has developed into a solid 15-20 minute act, a confident and demanding stage presence has seen him perform alongside the likes of John Bishop, Phil Nicol, Rob Rouse, Jack Whitehall and Sarah Millican. Flexible enough to gig almost anywhere, Adam has performed in pubs, clubs, bars and even music festivals, coming highly recommended by promoters and fellow acts up and down the country.
