Richard Morton

Richard Morton is an absolute legend of the UK comedy circuit, bringing an unbeatable combination of sharp observational stand-up, an amiable stage presence, and hilarious original songs. Often described as "Newcastle's finest export since the famous brown ale," this Geordie whirlwind has been a dominant live act for over 30 years. Richard first made waves on the scene as a founder member of The London Comedy Store’s highly acclaimed topical show Cutting Edge. His distinct brand of intelligent humour and catchy musicianship quickly earned him the prestigious Time Out Comedy Award. Alongside conquering the UK's top comedy clubs, Richard is a massive festival favourite, having played packed-out shows at Edinburgh Fringe, Latitude, Reading, Leeds, and Montreal’s Just For Laughs. His elite status on the circuit has seen him personally selected to support household giants on massive UK theatre tours, including: • Jack Dee • Lee Evans • Jo Brand • Eddie Izzard • Phill Jupitus Beyond the stage, Richard is a familiar face and voice across British broadcasting. His extensive media credits include appearances on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and his own half-hour special Richard Morton Live At The Comedy Store on Channel 5. With a guitar in hand and a relentless stream of quick-fire gags, Richard delivers a fast-paced, multi-layered show that consistently proves why he is a true circuit favourite.
