About this Event

Join us upstairs at The Hop Inn on the second every month for a night of laughs at the Old Town Comedy Club FRESH Material Night! Comics from across the UK roadtesting brand spanking new jokes!

Your headliner for May is South West Comedy Legend, Jon Wagstaffe!


​“Cracking act absolutely brimming with energy. Great tour support who always blows the doors off. Expect to see a lot more of him soon!” – Lloyd Griffith


“Jon Wagstaffe is very funny indeed” – Joel Dommett


"Very energetic, bombastic, contagious humour" - Voodoo Magazine


Meet Jon Wagstaffe, Tewkesbury’s one and only stand-up sensation, renowned for not only tickling funny bones but also for being devilishly good-looking with a mane of beautiful hair that would make even Rapunzel envious.

Jon’s comedic journey unfolds against the backdrop of Tewkesbury, where he has carved a niche as the town’s comedic gem. With a unique take on modern life, Jon Wagstaffe has a knack for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, leaving audiences in fits of laughter at every performance.

Beyond his undeniable comedic talent, Jon’s devilishly good looks and luscious locks have become a charming trademark. His on-stage presence is not just about the punchlines; it’s a visual spectacle that adds an extra layer of entertainment to the show.

As Tewkesbury’s finest comedic export, Jon Wagstaffe is more than just a stand-up comedian; he’s a local legend, bringing joy and laughter to the heart of the town. So, prepare to be captivated by his humor, mesmerized by his good looks, and possibly a tad jealous of that beautiful hair. Jon Wagstaffe is not just a comedian; he’s a comedic icon with a head of hair that deserves its own fan club.
