Lancaster TV comedian and actor Jon Richardson is coming back to his home city to perform at the Grand Theatre.
The 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown star will appear at the venue on Saturday October 24 in his new "in conversation" show 'The Teenage Diaries of a Stand-Up Comedian' - described as "one man's journey into his embarrassing past!"
Tickets go on sale this Tuesday, September 15 at 11am and the theatre said they expect the show to be "very popular, set your alarm!"
Jon, who attended Ryelands Primary and Lancaster Royal Grammar School, last performed in the Lancaster and Morecambe area in 2023, when he appeared at the Morecambe Winter Gardens in a sold-out gig for St John's Hospice.
His new show revisits "the awkward, unfiltered thoughts of his 14-year-old self" and explores his new book 'The Teenage Diaries of a Stand-Up Comedian'.

It covers everything from Oasis and Baywatch to teenage disasters, scout camp triumphs and the moments that ultimately set him on the path to comedy.
Expect candid stories, plenty of laughs and Jon’s wonderfully sharp observations along the way.
The show starts at 8pm, is for ages 14 and over, and all tickets include a copy of the book.
As well as his stand-up comedy career, Jon also presents on Absolute Radio, played Darius Donovan in hit BBC drama Waterloo Road, co-hosted The One Show, as well as appeared on Meet the Richardsons, Have I Got News For You, Live At The Apollo, Would I Lie To You? and Taskmaster.
