JOHN WARBURTON
John has headlined comedy shows from Doncaster to Dubai, and at lots of places inbetween. A regular at all the big weekend clubs around the UK, he counts the BBC, MUFC and Rockstar Games amongst his corporate clients. His award-winning powerhouse performance will leave you gasping for breath and his unique blend of jokes, comedy songs and surreal flights of fancy make him a sure-fire hit with any crowd.
When he’s not warming-up audiences for BBC sitcoms, you can catch John at the UK’s top comedy venues every weekend: Jongleurs, Highlight, The Glee Club, The Comedy Store, John plays them all. Recently seen on Coronation Street, as Barry Sidwell, John made his big screen debut in 2010 alongside Robert Carlyle, in big budget action thriller The Tournament.
Before turning to comedy John was a tabloid journalist, although he says he wasn’t very
good at it. Which is a shame because he did it for bloody ages.
Touched by fame from an early age as a child he was baptised by the father of Timmy
Mallett (apologies to anyone born after 1990 who won’t have a clue what that means),
and was taught biology at Altrincham Grammar school by Fred Talbot (again, apologies).
These days when John’s not performing comedy he writes it, with credits across network
TV and radio including commissioned pilots of his own sitcom and Radio 4 sketch show.
“His set bursts with clever wordplay and smart-Alec asides.”
“Rock’n’roll and very, very funny.
“Brilliant, brilliant. Watch out McIntyre.”
“A brilliant comedy mind.”
