Your headliner for the evening is recent star of ITV’s Dancing on Ice, Matt Richardson. Matt is a multi-award winning stand-up comedian and one of the most exciting names on the circuit.
Matt’s has transformed from student stand-up to primetime TV presenter in just a few short, strange years. Along the way he has achieved the awards and acclaim other young comics can only dream of – first being named Heat Magazine’s Weird Crush of the Year in 2014, before going on to feature in erotic fan fiction available on some of the internet’s most prestigious erotic fan fiction websites. Matt has hosted the Xtra Factor alongside Caroline Flack & The Hangover Games (E4), as well appearing on Nevermind The Buzzcocks, Celebrity Juice, Pointless Celebrities, Big Brothers Bit on the Side, Roast Battle, I’m a Celebrity Get Me out of here Now! and countless other shows. ★★★★★ “An explosive show that left people with bellies aching from laughter” - Voice ★★★★★ “Matt Richardson is still one of the top comedians” – Theatre Weekly “High wattage charisma from a talented young comic whose star is on the rise” - The Guardian “Hilarious and Charming” - The Mirror “Sharp, Funny and Warm” - Heat Magazine |
