Jon Richardson is a stand-up comedian from Lancaster. His first solo Edinburgh show about his obsessive compulsive personality disorder was nominated for the Best Newcomer award at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival. His 2009 show about his resulting perfectionism was nominated in the Best Show category.

He is a regular Have I Got News For You panellist and star of Live At The Apollo. Currently, Jon is team captain on the words and numbers game, 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

Away from stand-up, Jon is massively in demand for television and radio appearances. Jon has also starred on the Channel 4 documentaries, Jon Richardson: A Little Bit OCD, as well as Jon Richardson Grows Up. He presents his own series, Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier, on channel Dave.

Jon has also made appearances on numerous radio shows, including Act Your Age, The Museum Of Curiosity and Five Live's Fighting Talk. He has previously hosted his own Sunday morning radio show on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Jon is also a talented writer and contributor to national newspapers, most notably penning a cover article for the Guardian's Weekend Magazine for its Valentine's Day issue.

A regular on the stand-up circuit, Jon's first gig was in 2003 where he won his heat of the BBC New Comedy Talent Search. After completing a sixty date UK with Alan Carr in 2006, Jon won Best Breakthrough Act at the 2007 Chortle Awards and went on to receive a Best Newcomer nomination for his show Spatula Pad at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This was followed in 2008 with a successful Edinburgh run of his second solo show Dogmatic and a subsequent Edinburgh Comedy Award best show nomination in 2009 for his third Edinburgh show, This Guy at Night.
