David St John

Some Details...

Probably one of the most versatile comedy entertainers in the U.K. today! Originally from Southampton, but now based near Birmingham in the West Midlands - working across the country. Offering fast-moving stand-up comedy plus impressions, vocals and always adapting his act to suit the type of venue. Club circuit, hotels, corporate, golf clubs, weddings, holiday centres, cruise work and much more is covered. David’s stage act is a good mix, suitable for all age groups, including topical gags straight out of the morning papers! With prior information, he can also ‘personalise’ some of the comedy e.g. company product/services, plus mentioning any ‘characters’ in the audience (diplomatically of course!).



He has an amazing background in showbusiness, having started out as a ten year old rock and roll singer, in his home town of Southampton. This was followed by being lead vocalist and frontman of several pop groups, throughout the Sixties and early Seventies, before going solo in 1972. You can read all about this on several pages, within this website, as well as getting an insight into those Golden Days of UK music makers - just check out the Site Map for more information. You might be surprised by the amount of webpages, but they cover a very wide spectrum, and strongly linked to what David can actually do in any type of show.



David can work either self-contained and if musicians are available he can also incorporate some 12 string guitar, and excellent blues harmonica into the act, apart from the main comedy content. David also spent a number of years working on the Thomson Hotel circuits in Tunisia, Greece and Sicily as resident entertainer. He also produced variety shows, using local entertainers as well as visiting imported UK based cabaret acts.



David also undertook responsibility as entertainments manager at several top hotels, with the added bonus of being able to speak conversational French and Greek, plus snatches of a few languages, so communication is no trouble with this good all-rounder! He is experienced in cruising work, around the Caribbean and Mediterranean, with his comedy act, plus hosting onboard quiz nights, having himself been a very successful contestant on several top TV quiz shows - some 34 appearances to now! Read all about his amazing background as one of the U.K.s most prolific quizzers via Site Map. July 2014- validated in the Guinness Book of World Records, with most TV quiz show appearances!
