THE MASTER OF COMEDY
A John Martin show is full of energy, excitement and class! John is always fresh and up to date with his material. This originality, coupled with his encyclopaedic knowledge of jokes, makes him a true master of comedy.
About John Martin
A journalist once described John as a “human joke factory” when he smashed the world record for continuous joke-telling – an incredible 101 hours and 39 minutes – an extraordinary feat!
John is also a terrific comedy writer, having written material for many years for British greats such as Jimmy Tarbuck and the late Sir Ken Dodd.
He possesses an extraordinary gift for ad-libbing and takes great delight in using this talent to the full, often receiving standing ovations for his razor-sharp wit. His lightning-fast reactions have earned him the title “The World’s First Interactive Comedian.”
John is a firm favourite with many cruise companies and has been invited to perform on the maiden voyages of numerous cruise ships. He’s also a popular act at Warner Hotels, where audiences love him for going the extra mile. His shows are always clean and free of bad language, and he often stays overnight to deliver history lectures or talks about his career in comedy the following morning.
John is also the author of four books.
