Comedy
John Tothill is a comedian, writer and actor who has performed in venues across the UK and the USA, including Chicago’s Second City and New York’s UCB Theatre. He recently filmed Comedy Central Live, and was nominated for Chortle’s 2024 Best Newcomer Award.
He made his Edinburgh Fringe debut last year with his one-man show, THE LAST LIVING LIBERTINE, which was one of 2023’s best reviewed Edinburgh Fringe Shows. He has since taken the show for a sold-out run at London’s Soho Theatre.
John took his latest show - THANK GOD THIS LASTS FOREVER – to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer and received rave reviews, with The Guardian describing it as ‘another effervescent set to stand alongside last year’s eye-catching debut’. The show has recently transferred to the Soho Theatre.
