Jonny Awsum is a high-energy musical comedian, the self-styled gag-slinging guitar hero of the UK circuit, who combines stand-up, songwriting and no small amount of showmanship into a set built to win over any room. He built his reputation gig by gig on clubs and stages across the country before breaking through to a national audience, and his blend of catchy original songs and quick-witted crowd work has made him one of the most distinctive acts working in British comedy today.
Jonny reached the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent, with audition clips that went viral and have since racked up more than fifty million views on YouTube. Off the back of that exposure he sold out a five-star reviewed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, took a starring role in his first pantomime and provided tour support to both Lost Voice Guy and Tape Face. He won Best Kids' Show at the 2021 Leicester Comedy Festival and has appeared on BBC Breakfast, GMTV, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 5 Live, alongside television commercials for brands including Cravendale, EDF and Volkswagen.
Jonny's feel-good, sing-along energy makes him a stand-out choice for corporate events, award ceremonies and family friendly shows alike, and he has already hosted and performed for clients including Harley-Davidson and Polydor Records. He tailors his songs and material to the room, turning a corporate crowd or a club audience into willing participants rather than passive spectators. For an event that needs a lift of genuine, high-energy fun, Jonny is a booking that delivers.
