‘wickedly funny…a big-hitting good-time comic’ The Guardian 

Opening the show is Red Richardson, an internationally renowned stand up comedian, writer, and actor. His ‘Stay Toxic’ videos have well over a hundred million views on Instagram alone and his stand up shows sell out theatres and comedy clubs across the globe. In 2023 his stand up show ‘The Best of Red Richardson’ sold out the Leicester Square Theatre in under 24 hours. In 2024 Red embarked on his Bugatti live tour, which he took to America and sold out the legendary comedy store in LA twice with venues selling out months in advance and extra shows being added in every city of The UK and Ireland. He sold out London’s iconic Shepherd’s Bush Empire and added Australian dates due to demand in what is now at the time of writing, a 90-date global sell out tour.

He is a regular performer at ‘Ricky Gervais and Friends’ live stand up shows with comedian Ricky Gervais and appeared in numerous comedy sketches with Gervais for Ricky’s ‘Dutch Barn’ vodka company.
