Jon Richardson

Due to an overwhelming public demand, the brilliant Jon Richardson is back on tour in 2012. The new host of Channel 4’s Stand Up For The Week, team captain on 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and best-selling author will be bringing his show, Funny Magnet to Lighthouse.
