27 Jul 2022 – 19:30 @ Midhurst Rother College Comedy double bill featuring Milton Jones & Tom Houghton with MC Matt Barnard
7:30pm Wednesday 27 July
Midhurst Rother College
Tickets
£5.0 to £28.0
Hosted by the very much one and only Matt
Barnard, we welcome two brilliant stars from
the comedy circuit who come together for the
festival’s annual assault on the funny bone…
The evening is headlined by the one-liner king
Milton Jones who, with his trademark wild
hair and exotic shirts, is a regular on Mock
the Week (BBC2), has appeared on Michael
McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow (BBC1), Live at
the Apollo (BBC1) and he has headlined Dave’s
One Night Stand (Dave). He is a previous
Perrier Best Newcomer and Nominee, Sony
Award winner and British Comedy Award
nominee.
‘Beautiful one-liners so skillfully sculpted, you
don’t know whether to laugh or put them on
your mantelpiece’ The Guardian
Tom Houghton? He grew up on military
barracks all over England, Germany and
Northern Ireland and went to boarding school
in the depths of Cumbria from the aged 6.
For 9 years he was part of an improv comedy
group called “The Noise Next door” (who aren’t
half bad actually) and is now “riding solo” and
currently living in The Tower of London. He
reckons he’s a bit of a posh twat from a very
posh background but trying to be humble
about it. But it’s hard; over Christmas he woke
up and someone had put an ice-skating rink in
his moat!
‘Tom exploits his family background to hilarious (and touching) effect.
It’s brilliant, bravura stuff and, I was held from start to finish, hugely
impressed, vastly amused and generally bowled over. 5 stars’
Gyles Brandreth
