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 multiple five star reviews, featured on British Comedy Guide’s Best Reviewed Shows list, and won an Entertainment Now award.

Before hitting the Fringe, 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 also regularly hosts his own mixed-bill queer comedy game show ‘Abso-frickin-lution’ in London, which gives one lucky audience member the chance to reimagine their past, like a funnier, gayer Surprise, Surprise.
