Comedian - Richard Stott - Comedy: The Right Hand Man of Hilarious and Heartfelt Humour

Richard Stott is a comedian, actor, and writer who has firmly established himself as one of the most distinctive and hilarious acts on the UK circuit. A star of ITV2's Stand Up Sketch Show and Comedy Central Live, Richard is a master of anarchic storytelling, peppering his tales with joyously acerbic one-liners that have seen his jokes repeatedly named among the best of the Edinburgh Fringe.   

An Actor's Precision, A Comedian's Wit

Richard is an accomplished actor, having trained at Drama Studio London and performed multiple times at the prestigious Globe Theatre. This theatrical background gives him a powerful stage presence and a masterful command of storytelling. He applies this skill to his stand-up, crafting narratives that are both engaging and wildly unpredictable. His comedy often draws on his life experiences, including his perspective on living with a disability, but he deftly avoids being pigeonholed. As he has stated himself, he is a "comedian who happens to have a disability, not a disabled comedian," challenging audience expectations and focusing squarely on being funny.   

Comedy Style: A Joyful Anarchy

Richard’s comedy is a brilliant fusion of two distinct styles. He is a gifted storyteller, capable of weaving intricate and hilarious narratives. At the same time, he is a phenomenal joke writer, with a talent for crafting razor-sharp, acerbic one-liners that hit with precision. This combination makes his performances a dynamic and exciting experience, where a thoughtful story can be punctuated by a killer punchline at any moment. His take on the world is unique, and he delivers it with a confidence and charm that has won over audiences across the country.   

The Joke King of the Fringe

The exceptional quality of Comedian Richard Stott comedy writing has led to a rare and remarkable achievement: he has had his jokes featured in the official Top 10 Jokes of the Fringe lists on three separate occasions. His gags were selected by Dave TV in 2019, The Times in 2022, and The Guardian in 2023, a feat that marks him as one of the most consistently brilliant joke-smiths in the business. In addition to this, he was the runner-up in the Leicester Square Not So New Comedian of The Year contest in 2024 and was shortlisted for the Amused Moose Award in 2023, further cementing his status as a critically acclaimed act. As an actor, he has also appeared in the popular TV series Sister Boniface Mysteries.
