2013 British Comedy Award Best Male Comic nominee Jon Richardson has announced a UK tour, starting in Norwich on August 2, entitled Nidiot.  The 42-date tour includes two nights at the Hammersmith Apollo on 3 and 4 October where he will record his second live stand-up DVD set for release in Nov 2014.

The perennial singleton and misanthrope is determined to become a more easygoing person for the sake of his friends and his future health. Come and find out whether or not a leopard can change its spots, or if they are doomed to be angry forever not to have been given a more uniform and symmetrical fur pattern.

Away from his live stand up, Jon is best known as team captain on Channel 4’s  8 Out Of 10 Cats and 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown.  His recent TV credits also include Have I Got News For You’(BBC ONE), Live At The Apollo’(BBC ONE), Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow’ (BBC ONE), Channel 4’s Comedy Gala and Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC TWO). 

Richardson appeared in his own Channel 4 Documentary Jon Richardson: a Little Bit OCD in 2013, which subsequently won a Mind Media award. In 2012 he starred alongside fellow 8 Out of 10 Cats captain Sean Lock in the series Hillbilly Holiday (Channel 4).

He will also be starring in a brand new Channel 4 series this September, Jon Richardson Grows Up. Mortgages, marriage and parenthood - all big adult words that strike fear into the heart of 30-somethings everywhere. In the new three-part series Jon will embark on a journey that will not only enlighten him, but the whole of the UK, as to what it takes to be a ‘Happy Adult’. Richardson and his best mate, fellow comedian and optimist Matt Forde, are going on a good old fashioned road-trip around Britain. The pair will travel in a camper van meeting people from all walks of life who have unique views on what it means to be grown-up.
