WILLIAM STONE
William Stone has been described as "the ASMR of comedy. Through whimsical musings he will whisk you on a journey, you won't know where you're going, but you'll enjoy the ride.

Hailing from a nondescript northern working-class market town, William's whimsical one-liners won him a spot in the 2018 BBC New Comedy Award final, the Leicester Square New Act of the Year Competition final and the 2Northdown New Act of the year final 2020.

William's writing has been featured on Mock the Week, The News Quiz and Newsjack. You can also spot William in the sketches he has written and starred in for BBC Three Quickies and NextUp's Doorstep Comedy. He's performed live stand-up on BBC Radio 4 and Radio 2.

He is currently supporting Margus Brigstocke on his 2022/23 UK tour.

A regular on the comedy club circuit, William has performed at Komedia, Top Secret Comedy Club, The Comedy Store, Monkey Barrel and Banana Cabaret to name a few.
