 Johnnie
Casson
has become a legend
amongst comedians the length & breadth of Britain
and has found a popularity envied by many bigger
name performers. A unique style of delivery, some
clever material and an exceptional warmth, this
dynamic and genuinely funny Yorkshire man, with the
“mixed-up metaphors”, has a very natural
asset - “like-ability”,
illustrated within minutes of him commencing his
original blend of comedy when smiles and titters
soon turn to uncontrollable laughter. |
|
Des O’Connor
said Johnnie was one of the funniest comedians to
appear on the show. This was proved again when
Johnnie appeared in January ‘98. So successful was
the recording that Des immediately moved John to the
“Star” slot. Comments received after the screening
were that it was one of the best comedy interviews
in recent years. |
|
Bruce Forsyth
said “Johnnie Casson is so funny he could become
an enemy” |
|
As well as being a
popular Cabaret Comedian the demand for John’s
services as an after dinner entertainer are quite
phenomenal, making him a leading name on the
function market. Proof of his popularity can be
found in that wherever he has been booked to
entertain demand soon finds him booked to return. |
|
Sir John Mills,
the
legendary actor, at a recent Johnnie Casson
performance was heard to remark, “ I haven’t
laughed so much since I heard Max Miller in 1935!”.

With a top selling Video, “Live At The Opera
House” there can be very few comics who
remains so popular- year after year!
