St John's Hospice announces date for next local Jon Richardson comedy show

Jon Richardson

Tickets are expected to sell out quickly when Lancaster comedian Jon Richardson returns home for a charity show next month.

St John's Hospice have announced that the TV comic will perform on Sunday August 27 but have not yet announced the venue.

"Look who's back in town!" said a post on the Lancaster hospice's Facebook page, with an image of the comedian.

"Save the date, Sunday 27th August. More details to follow next week so keep an eye on our social media, tickets will sell out fast!"

Jon, a former Ryelands Primary and Lancaster Royal Grammar school pupil, has appeared on hit shows including '8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown', 'Jon Richardson:Ultimate Worrier' and ‘Meet The Richardsons’ alongside his wife, Lucy Beaumont. 

He has performed regular shows in the Lancaster area over the past few years, including a 'Work in Progess' stand-up gig at the Grand Theatre last year, and charity comedy gigs at Morecambe Winter Gardens, including raising £25,000 for the hospice in 2019 at an event also featuring Sarah Millican, Gary Delaney, Lucy Beaumont and Matt Forde.

Previous Jon Richardson shows in Lancaster and Morecambe have sold out very quickly with huge queues for tickets.
