Jonno: Here Comes Mr Funny

A slightly hubristic name to give your show at the world’s biggest comedy festival, and one imagines there’s a fair degree of irony in its deployment. But Daran ‘Jonno’ Johnson has earned the name as he finally makes his solo Fringe debut 16 years after his sublimely silly, gloriously high concept sketch troupe Sheeps make theirs. He’s also riding high as head writer for SNL UK, whose somewhat unexpected success this year has boosted a host of its stars and should hopefully do the same for its behind the scenes talent. We’re promised ‘a joyful, gag-heavy hour packed with whimsical, odd tangents and nonsensical comedy’.
