British comedy has seen its fair share of exceptional talent, but few comedians have left a lasting impact quite like Milton Jones. With his trademark wild hair, flamboyant shirts, and a rapid-fire delivery of one-liners, Jones has charmed audiences across the United Kingdom and beyond. This article delves into the life and career of Milton Jones, exploring his unique comedic style and examining how he has influenced and shaped the landscape of British comedy.
)
Born on May 16, 1964, in Bedford, England, Milton Jones discovered his passion for comedy at an early age. Growing up, he found inspiration in classic British comedians like Tommy Cooper and Spike Milligan, as well as the American comedic icon, Steve Martin. These influences laid the groundwork for Jones's distinct blend of absurdity, wordplay, and surrealism.
Jones began his career in the late 1980s, honing his skills on the stand-up comedy circuit. He quickly gained recognition for his witty one-liners and impeccable timing. In 1996, he received his big break with an appearance on the popular BBC radio show "The Treatment," hosted by Armando Iannucci. This exposure catapulted him into the limelight and marked the beginning of a remarkable journey in British comedy.
At the heart of Milton Jones's comedy lies his unique style, characterized by a rapid-fire delivery of one-liners, absurd puns, and clever wordplay. His ability to construct intricate jokes filled with unexpected twists and misdirection is unparalleled. Jones combines clever wordplay with visual gags, often accompanied by his unmistakable deadpan delivery. His offbeat observations and surreal narratives transport audiences into a world of absurdity and delight.
Milton Jones's talent transcended the stage, and he seamlessly transitioned into the realms of radio and television. He became a regular on BBC Radio 4's "The Very World of Milton Jones" in 1998, showcasing his talent for crafting comedic scenarios and characters through audio. His radio success paved the way for several television appearances, including panel shows like "Mock the Week" and "Live at the Apollo," where his quick wit and unconventional humor captivated audiences.
One of the hallmarks of Jones's career is his remarkable live performances. His one-man shows, featuring his signature blend of absurdity and wordplay, have garnered critical acclaim and sold-out audiences. From the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to the West End, Jones has toured extensively, spreading laughter throughout the nation. His stand-up specials, such as "Milton Jones: Lion Whisperer" and "Milton Jones's House of Rooms," have become cult classics, showcasing his mastery of the craft.

I just discovered Milton a couple of days ago. He's intelligent and hilarious and his humour is clean. What a wonderful find!
100 % good character
Don’t really know if he has a following of any kind here in the US but he’s one of my favorites. He’s hilarious and I never have to worry about his humor being offensive to whatever group I show him too.
Brilliant insight. Milton is a real nice guy. Me and my Wife went to see him a few years back in Cambridge. Was sooooo good. It was the Temple of Daft in fact.
Painless, learnt so much from Milton. Good questions. Milton is nearly as good as I am not!
Don't beat yourself up I'm sure we all have it in us. Live and learn
As an American, I enjoy his humor very much. There are only a few times when I can tell the joke only works in the UK.
Comedy is far better without swearing so Thank you Milton
Spot on. Why vulgarity has to be a part of comedy. Look at ken dod. Clean and hidden adult comedy
Some great insights into writing and performing comedy.
Yes it works in America. I love him in Mock the Week.
Smart guy. Knows his stuff. Not really into one liner stuff but his stuff is so bizarre and daft at times you can't help but laugh.
This is my favourite video by you! I love how you address issues with Milton even though (especially with religion) you come from a very different point of view.
Milton has to be one of my favourite comedians. And he's such a nice guy. I can watch him over and over.
Thanks Grahame, glad you enjoyed this one.
I enjoy Milton Jones on BBC Radio 4 and 4 Extra and his form of profanity free comedy is very good.
Milton is very clever.
+Josh Latham He's the cleverest and one of the nicest people I've interviewed before
Brilliant comic, and clearly an intelligent and interesting man.
So pleased that Milton is a Christian he's so funny I really do like this guy
I used to love fish and chips wrapped in newspaper when I was a kid, it was all part of the enjoyment of it!
Plenty of salt and vinegar, lovely on a cold winters night.
My thoughts exactly
Good interview and covered a lot of questions i would have asked. Only problem the pair made me feel hungry
Thanks, that seems like a lifetime ago now 😁
I was worried i’d be disappointed seeing him ‘out of character’ but he - in himself - is also a fantastic character and comes across as a nice bloke! ….. Did anyone else hear him say he gets his material from USA sitcoms? 😅
He's a great guy off camera too 😁
His chips must have been ridiculously cold by the end
I had the last few, they were cold, but still good :)
What's wrong with cold chips? Just add more vinegar, or Tabasco or something.
Cold and delicious by the looks of it
Kevin, am rewatching this again and will pass it on by WhatsApp to Milton's old friend from the Comedy Club, Noel Faulkner- a top bloke. I like this especially for his remarks on his faith. A comic of faith is an anomaly on the comedy circuit with the honourable exceptions of Frank Skinner and Tim Vine. In America they have Pete Holmes (atheists are the "nothing people": brilliant) and Brad Stine❤
I saw him do a gig at Greenbelt, a Christian music festival a few years ago, here in the UK and hats off to him and his granddads. I am here in Luton, our football team is known as the Hatters. Get ahead get a hat,. Folks, God loves atheists, but isnt sure about about agnostics. How many Atheists does it take to change a light bulb. None, as they can not see the light! Blessings and the love of God upon you all, esp atheists and agnostics.
Any chance of a follow-up to this interview and ask some of the questions suggested below?
Nice idea, but I've interviewed him twice already, open to any other suggestions though. Hopefully I should be able to get a couple of employees on board in the next month, who'll be able to focus on booking a host of different show reunions and talent for interview
@@braveish I'll have to find your other interview.
@@braveish is the other interview on your channel? I don't seem to see it.
cut the background noise please. Losing focus.
29:54 perfect time to respond with "They're getting a bit old"
Nice, if you ever want a job as a Director then let me know :)
Righteous
No idea why this was marked as spam.
Anyway, I enjoyed listening to Milton talk as a regular bloke.
This interviewer sounds like james acaster :D
Oh wow, so he does
...and he looks like Frank Lampard.
its so wierd to see milton not being... "milton"
(i know he isnt 24/7 in comedian-mode, but its his side im most used to)
His hear was down, so I didn't even recognise him. :D
It was like a serious twin commenting on the lunatic brother who is very entertaining.
Kevin, from one Kevin to another, you are too hard on yourself. You let Milton speak. You LISTENED. What's not to like?🎉
"Love everyone as you love yourself" If we all obeyed Jesus' words this world would be transformed.
That's not what the Bible says, Margaret. Jesus said to love others as you would have them love you. We should desire to show the same love to others that we desire from others.
@Dimwits Vote Tory It's only a dimwit that posts an irrelevant verse. That command is given to the angels. It has NOTHING to do with God's command to us to love each other.
"Please don't say that this is taken out of context". Why? Because you know it destroys the moronic point you are trying to make?
God has the right to judge evil and I know that you want to ignore this point, that's why you say stupid things like you have. You want to ignore that you are a liar and blasphemer and sinned in numerous other ways. You think love means that God never judges (your) sin. I bet you demand He judges the sin of others (but then complain that He's too harsh, like with the Canaanites).
I have never seen one of you fools that is not completely ignorant of God and His word and only cherrypick scripture to twist the point. I have also never encountered one of you lot that is illogical and hypocritical, but self-righteous and smug about how dumb you are.
Please be the first one to prove me wrong. But I feel very confident that you only know how to mock and show how vapid you are.
@Dimwits Vote Tory I don't waste time arguing with morons. Blocked.
And almost everything you said is a lie. You are a troll.
He looks like Michael Bay
Bring back Vaudeville. 🤣
I wonder what they would have made of Milton in Uganda? Soup!
He's talked about it. It bombed hard. They didn't get it because of the cultural and language differences. So he just tried to work on using physical comedy and being a nice guy with the kids and stuff like that.
Miltons thinking has this man actually got a life
Is knob head a real word?
Yes
It means Penis head. Or if you like Cock head! Some men seem like they think with their `Old man/knob`.
It is in Britain. Far less common in other places but I have heard it in Australia. Very rare though.
Oh Please ... Keep yours, or anyone's faith, religion, Private! ... Has this revelation changed my view on Milton ... Erg ... No, not really ... Just love is oneliners ... Clever guy ...
Who thought it was a good idea to have the interview in such an awful din?
I didn't think it was that bad. It was colourful and real, not stuffy and empty.
But if the noise was making it hard for you to hear, then your complaint is valid.
Applauding ur faith
But in those days we were all healthy, full of energy, unlike the obesity of the kids now!
Macky 'd's anyone?
very funny on stage but boring off stage
God that racket is annoying!
Ps yr talk on Xty is superb. You have a bit of fame, get up there and come out! Stephen Fry et al keep the spotlight on atheism, your lightening wit and deep love of Christ need to shine publicly to educate a public too ready to take Fry, Dawkins etc as authority. Atheism flourishes: we are told by Christ to go and teach all nations. Humour and evangelism are good together, get on same progs as celebrity atheists. Love you and yr comedy AND yr faith, we must all find our way to proclaim the gospel. God bless you and yr family.
Conspiracy theorist: "maybe comedy will implode in 5 years and there will be no work"
i like milton but lose the gag about cats ,, not funny ,, the rest top man
fawcett... your house stinks...
Have a lot of time for Milton's one liners but disappointed with his arguments for Christianity. Can never reconcile seemingly clever people having a deep faith.
RoasterMcdougalify I don't think he makes an argument for Christianity here. Unless I missed it...?
Yes, you missed it.
Just some of better known Christians include, JRR Tolkien, Florence Nightingale, William Wilberforce (who was instrumental in abolishing slavery) Albert Einstien, C.S. Lewis, Martin Luther King, Johannes Gutenberg (inventor of the printing press), Chistopher Columbus, Leonardo Da Vinci and the list goes on. These people were were wise enough to recognise the reality of God, then with their trust in Him, went about changing the world. when will it be your turn?
It wasn't a systematic argument, but merely a discussion of how he thinks about religion.
Where did he make an argument for Christianity? He was asked about how he deals with atheists in the comedy community and he essentially said he avoids it unless someone wants a discussion. He wasn't really asked to defend Christianity at all.
The context was that it annoys him when atheists bash Christianity with no depth of argument. He didn't bash atheism and I've never heard him do so, so why would you expect him to launch into a deep argument??
That Jesus existed is now accepted even by atheist historians, Luke's gospel sets him firmly in real history.
Well, unless one leans towards the theory, that the Romans created the, Jesus Myth 🙄 ...
Milton, use yr comedy to evangelise as well as give delight.
This upsets me. All religion is bigotry.
There's something ironically bigoted about that statement.
Only a sith deals in absolutes
If you're trying to be funny, you failed. That sounds too much like a real statement from a bigoted and ignorant atheist to be funny. It sounds real because you start with "this upsets me". You sound like you are speaking out of emotion, not logic.
If that was a serious comment, you are a moronic hypocrite and just committed bigotry.
And one further comment. Everyone is bigoted. It is actually necessary to be bigoted. When bigotry is wrong is when you are bigoted. Bigotry is intolerance. I am intolerant of lies and murder and rape and illogic and etc. And so should everyone be. It is only wrong to be bigoted against things that are good or neutral.
I hope in the last three years you have grown up a little and either learned these things on your own or are prepared to learn them now.
People are religious - there's no escaping it. You have faith, believe in something by virtue of the fact that you're human. To think all religion in bigotry is odd - you could say that some are true and some are false because of xyz; by doing that you open a conversation. But by saying all religion is bigotry is absurd.
@@ej8530 We can agree that its all nonsense though surely? organised religion i mean..
I'm also coming to the realisation that many religious people, Christians in particular aren't capable of critical thought. Thats why they can only write gag comedy. Tim Vines the same too..
You've only got to catch an episode of Songs of Praise to realise these people arent playing with a full deck
