Just two weeks until Jon Richardson joins us for an unforgettable evening of conversation, laughter and teenage nostalgia! 📚
Jon will be taking us through his new book, revisiting the awkward, unfiltered thoughts of his 14-year-old self - and the best part? Your ticket includes a copy of the book! 📖
From mortifying climbing rope incidents in PE to earning Chewits at scout camp, Jon shares the moments that shaped him and ultimately led him to comedy. GQ says his mind is "extraordinary" and we couldn't agree more!
Don't miss this candid, hilarious evening with one of the UK's favourite comedians.
