Will Owen

Will's debut Edinburgh Fringe show, ‘Like, Nobody’s Watching’, blended the camp theatrics of Saturday night TV with confessional stand-up, and was a hit with critics and audiences alike. It received five star reviews, featured on British Comedy Guide’s Best Reviewed Shows list, and transferred with sell-out shows to Soho Theatre.

Will returned to the Fringe with ‘Looking Fab At Fifty’, to more critical acclaim. He now also has a scripted project in development.

Elsewhere, Will found success on the comedy competition circuit, culminating in him winning the title at Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year. He also reached the finals of other prestigious new act competitions, such as 2Northdown New Act and Bath Festival New Comedian.

Will has done tour support for Ania Magliano and Rhys Nicholson, and is preparing to tour his own show in the new year.
