John is best known for his appearances on the BBC’s The Stand-Up Show and was included in Channel 4’s World’s One Hundred Greatest Stand-Ups.  He has also recorded 5 series of The John Moloney Show for BBC Radio 4, which was featured on Pick of the Week and Pick of the Year - Radio 4’s flagship entertainment shows.

John was delighted to be nominated as Best Live Stand-Up at the British Comedy Awards but was even happier to be the winner of Outstanding Contribution to UK Comedy. Not a bad result for an ex-schoolteacher!

Testimonials

The very positive reaction of both audiences is a testament to John's ability to accurately pitch his content to amuse and entertain both our internal and external group and the applause and laughter was the true measure of how successful both events were.

Jerry Parker, Divisional Director - Business Development, SONY.

Thank you so much for your performance. Everyone in the office has said what a great job you did and we have had several guests telling us that you actually had the whole table of them crying with laughter! Other people have said that they were nearly wetting themselves! Good feedback I hope you agree. On a personal note I found you very warm, funny and professional. It was a great pleasure to have had you at our first ever OSC' Magazine Awards Dinner and also for myself as it was the first ever event I've organised for the company.

Elinor O'Neill, Events - McClelland Publishing.

One of the best things about watching live comedy is seeing a comedian get his second wind of inspiration. Sometimes an established comic suddenly finds something extra, and one of these comics is John Moloney. He's been a headliner at top clubs like the Comedy Store for years - yet his comedy has acquired more depth, as well as an even sharper edge.

William Cook - The Guardian.

John Moloney is one of the most creative and professional comedians I have had the pleasure to work with - quick off the mark - John will have had the audience laughing three times in the time that it takes any other comedian to say 'hello'... The comedy scene would be a poorer place without him. John is a firm favourite of the Comedy Store - and a firm favourite of mine

Don Ward - The Comedy Store.

Yet again we were most delighted with your performance for our clients Kia Motors at The Lancaster Hotel. It is testament to your excellent comedy routines and exquisite professionalism that Kia wanted you back for a second year running, on the personal request of their Managing Director Paul Williams. You pitched your material with great precision, and had the audience in rapturous laughter. Your material was fresh, topical and hilariously funny. Thanks for giving our clients such an enjoyable evening. All the best – and we look forward to working with you again at the next possible opportunity.

J Palmer - Director, 4d Productions.
