John Newton

John began his comedy career in 2003.  He fast became known for his inventive writing, covering a massive spectrum of subjects from the surreal to the hard hitting, yet still managing to remember that “the gag” comes first.  In that respect, he’s an old fashioned gag teller/writer and proud of it.

In 2007 John started work on the Cruise Ship Circuit and in 2008 alone clocked up an impressive 24 Cruises, working on ships such as The Ventura, The Arcadia, The Oceana and Ocean Village 1 & 2.  Performing to a more “mainstream audience” proved a challenge that John relished & he soon became a firm favourite of passengers and crew alike. Travelling from continent to continent has given John a wealth of experience to draw from and makes for an interesting yet hilarious set.

John has stirred away from progressing down the media route with radio and TV appearances preferring to perform live stand-up across the globe in places like:

Abu Dhabi, Alicante, Amsterdam, Bahrain, Barcelona, Burma, The Caribbean, The Channel Islands, Dubai, Estonia, Hamburg, Ireland, Kenya, Munich, Russia, Stockholm
