In his brand new one-man show Stnad-Up, John-Luke Roberts pairs his trademark onslaught of well-thought-through-nonsense, drawings, one-liners and musical interludes with some honest reflections and occasional breakdowns in the wake of the end of an eight-year relationship.

This is the follow up to 2013's Broken Stand-Up - the runner up in the Amused Moose Laughter Award for the best full-length comedy show. This year he's also written and performed The Incredible One Man Pandemic, a storytelling play with music by Grace Petrie at The Vault Festival, and Latitude.

John-Luke Roberts is the co-founder and co-host of The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society ("Joyous future-of-comedy stuff" - Sunday Times), a raucous comedy night which places experimentation and noble failure above all else - appearing this year at Stand in the Square (Venue 372). He wrote The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society presents A Board Meeting for Channel 4 Blaps.

He writes for a wide range of radio and television shows - including Radio 4's The News Quiz, and BBC1's Have I Got New For You. He plays The Computer on the hit Radio 4 sitcom Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully, and has been seen on BBC Three, Channel 4 and E4.

At the Fringe, John-Luke has appeared as half of absurdist sketch group The Behemoth (**** The List), and directed the Edinburgh Comedy Newcomer nominated show Discover Ben Target.
