Stewart Francis Live - Outstanding In His Field
This specially-filmed performance of the 2012 stand-up show from killer-gag purveyor Stewart Francis features a brand new crop of brilliant one-liners and wisecracks.
Delivering devastating jokes at maximum laughs-per-minute, Francis has earned rave reviews. Having regularly stolen the show on the BBC's Mock The Week, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow and Live At The Apollo, he has established himself as a premier league comedian and has produced one of the year's most eagerly-awaited comedy DVDs.

Stewart Francis - Pun Gent
Following a sell-out tour that was extended due to phenomenal demand, Stewart Francis's show PUN GENT is released on DVD, filmed at the beautiful Lowry Theatre in Salford, England.
Stewart Francis is loved for his appearances on Mock The Week, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow and Live At The Apollo. A previous winner of Dave's Funniest Joke Of The Fringe Award 2012, he has earned a reputation as one of the finest comics around. Quite simply, the service Francis provides is good old-fashioned joke telling with a hook, punch-line and a dose of panache thrown in for good measure. So where's the catch? Well there probably is a pun-related answer, but only word wizards such as Stewart Francis could find one.

Stewart Francis - Pun Direction
"I was standing in the park today wondering, why does a Frisbee appear larger the closer it gets? And then it hit me."
Stewart Francis is the king of the smart one-liner, the brilliantly crafted, often punning gag delivered in his trademark deadpan style. In this, his first book, he presents 500 of his funniest, most perfectly formed gags plus cartoons and more.
