John Emmerson

Last year John was nearly shot dead whilst on holiday in a very nice part of the Algarve, by a mysterious yet genocidal Portugese tramp - John wouldn't have minded, but the guy hadn't even seen his act.

With a growing reputation playing clubs up and down the country, his uniquely skewed view on the world, is silly but relevant and always funny. His likeable demeanour draws bellowing laughs and warm love to blow the roof off even the most miserable and aggressive of rooms. The sort of comic you want to invite into your life, although you probably wouldn't want him to drive you home.
Regularly playing throughout the UK at gigs including Mirth Control Clubs, Rawhide venues, Kill For A Seat comedy clubs, Laughing Gas, Hyena Lounge, XS Malarkey, Frog & Bucket and The Laughing Horse.
