John Tothill

John Tothill is a British stand-up comedian, writer, and actor known for his highly distinctive, erudite storytelling style that blends intellectual digressions, surreal tangents, and autobiographical material. His work is characterised by a “foppish” on-stage persona, rapid delivery, and narratives that mix classical references, personal misadventure, and absurdist humour.
