Due to an overwhelming public demand, the brilliant Jon Richardson is back on tour in 2012. The new host of Channel 4’s Stand Up For The Week, team captain on 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and best-selling author will be bringing his show, Funny Magnet to Lighthouse.

Discussing the everyday items that have a profound effect on his outlook, Funny Magnet sees Jon working his pessimism with some hilarious consequences, and as always with his loveable vivacious delivery.
