Another case of Milton Jones
On Saturday evening, Heidi and I went to see my favourite comedian at the Norwich Playhouse Theatre – Milton Jones
We went with Mark and Suzi and all 4 of us were in pains of laughter throughout his 2 hour performance. Mark and I first saw Milton at Greenbelt about 5 years ago so were really keen to see him again.
Many of you may have heard of Milton Jones because of his recent Radio 4 show ‘Another Case of Milton Jones’. If you have enjoyed this series then you’re sure to love him live and even more so. Milton Jones is unlike any other comedian performing today but if you remember the American comedian Stephen Wright in the 1980s you’ll get an idea of the kind of humour you’re likely to hear. Milton does not sound as depressed as Stephen Wright used to though.  As well as being hilarious Milton highlights what an amazing language English is for producing comedy. I can’t imagine any other European language being so suitable for exploitation.
Unfortunately if you live in Norwich you’ve missed his gig but I urge you to try and see him on his long tour if you get the chance. Click on Milton’s official website to find out tour dates.
In the meantime, I leave you a taster.
“One day when I was at school it was my turn to take the guinea pig home. 7 months later, I arrived on the beautiful island of Guinea.”
“the most interesting job I ever had was working for the United Nations in Kosovo. One day we discovered a mass burial site of at least a hundred snowmen. Fortunately it turned out to be a field of carrots.”
OK, I know, it’s the way you tell them.
