JONNY BROOK

There’s a new stand up taking a seat on the Leeds comedy circuit at the moment with Jonathan Brook.

Brook is dry. Incredibly dry. You listen intently, and you’re never ready for the punchline. You can’t tell when it’s coming because of his delivery, but when it arrives it’s consistently a killer line. Every single time.

Crucial topics that he covers include love and poetry, a comparison to him and Lady Gaga, his parents’ divorce and sharing stories about living with legs that hate him.

Brook is a seriously funny guy, with a brilliant act. He’s becoming a regular on the Leeds comedy circuit now and, travelling further afield, becoming increasingly popular.

And it’s obvious why. Five star humour. He’s worthy of checking out and going to see.
