About

Hello! Thanks for dropping by. Want to find out more about me through carefully collated content presented in the third person as if assembled by a collective of PR and media specialists at Carl Jones Comedian HQ? Well you’re in luck.

Midlands comic Carl Jones first hit the circuit in 2011 after winning the Nottingham Comedy Festival Best Newcomer in his first handful of gigs. Since then, he’s gone on to reach the BBC New Comedy Award heats, the latter stages of numerous national new act competitions and gig at some of the top comedy clubs across the UK.

Away from the stage, Carl is a regular contributor to BBC Radio’s comedy output and his writing has been heard on Newsjack, The Show What You Wrote and, most recently, as additional writer on national institution The News Quiz on BBC Radio 4.

He also has a podcast, When Football Began Again, all about the Premier League era and a couple of books to his name as well.

He released his first book, Be In That Number, about Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Clubs around the world and also Winless, where he spent a season following struggling semi-professional football team New Mills.

With a growing reputation as an engaging storytelling comedian and welcoming MC who is able to play a variety of rooms, he is a regular opener, middle, closer and host for a wide range of comedy clubs of all sizes across the UK.
