Jon Richardson Knows a Thing or Two About Cats

British comedian Jon Richardson is taking his standup act on the road, bringing laughter and light to audiences all over the globe. The television veteran brings his special take on the world to the things that go on in our everyday world, and makes us laugh about them.

Plot

In this performance, Jon Richardson talks about everything from the rather embarrassing car he drives and its shrill horn to why there isn't a connection between loving music and hating racism. Richardson comes from the old school of comedians who make their living simply talking about the things they've seen as they travel and why those things are usually quite strange. Richardson isn't a character actor -- he doesn't put on a new identity when he's performing, but instead helps people laugh at the silly things they see and do all the time.

When Jon Richardson isn't touring, he serves as a "team captain" on the oddball comedy show 8 Out of 10 Cats. Having put together a rather successful career making appearances on popular UK television shows has allowed him to continue his standup act for nearly 11 years. Because he has seen and done so much, he has quite a bit to pull from for his shows. This seemingly endless catalogue of jokes makes his performances unique and more engaging.
