A double-bill preview of Jonno & Jonathan Oldfield's highly anticipated debut comedy shows.
Jonno: Work-in-Progress
Ello! Cards on the table, it’s Jonno writing this blurb. I’m not gonna put it in the third person. And if other comedians have done so, then I’m afraid to tell you they are outright cowards. I’m doing a stand up show that’s mostly just daft stuff; songs are a big bit of it (almost half, I think) and then I tell some lies for about 10 minutes, and then there’s a bit at the end that’s almost too far the other way; like it sometimes makes people worry for me cos I talk about my anxiety issues but I promise it’s really nice in the end. It’s not one of THOSE shows (no shade on those shows; I actually love those shows tbh) where there’s anything genuinely traumatic. I’m in a pretty good place actually. Gorsh, long old blurb, this.
Jonno (/I) is (/am) the Head Writer for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE UK, and comprises an entire third of sketch “legends” SHEEPS.
Reviews for Sheeps:
‘Thrillingly, mind-expandingly funny’ ★★★★★ Guardian
