Milton Jones (born 16 May 1964) is an English comedian. His style of humour is based on one-liners involving puns delivered in a deadpan and slightly neurotic style. Jones has had various shows on BBC Radio 4 and is a recurring guest panellist on Mock the Week. He won the Perrier comedy award for best newcomer in 1996
Milton has picked a brilliant warm up in Tom Houghton so the night started well with Tom and Grandad. And it got better and better. Laughed so hard my ribs hurt at his absurd take on the world. Seen him 3 times and this tour is every bit as good as his previous ones.
Milton : POSSIBLE

Good night out. Theatre staff couldn't have been more helpful. Milton was canny, not side-itting, or jaw-aching funny, but still very entertaining.
HonourableTom Houghton, support act, tried hard, and was funny, but the funniest moment, and the most revealing of his, largely, class-based act, was when he didn't know what DWP stood for.
My overall assessment is that each act kind of comes across as a one trick pony. Neither could hold a candle to 1980s era Rowan Atkinson on stage.
Hilarious

Absolutely thee cleverest and funniest comedian I have ever seen. Simply brilliant. My sides are still aching today.
