Jon's pub
Jon Richardson has his very own pub, 'The Dog and Bastard', in his garden in Hebden Bridge.
Featuring: Jon Richardson (Jon) & Lucy Beaumont (Lucy).
Press
Jon Richardson extends his misanthropic persona to a Curb-ish mockumentary, satirising his married domestic life with fellow comedian Lucy Beaumont. There are good gags about Richardson's eccentricities, but the cringeworthy comeuppances are underpowered.

No need to curb your enthusiasm here, there is plenty to be enthusiastic about.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 27th February 2020Meet The Richardsons review
If you were looking for a British answer to Larry David, you could do worse than set-in-his-ways curmudgeon Jon Richardson.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 27th February 2020Meet The Richardsons review
Two married comedians do scripted reality. Sounds like a treat. Who better to send up the sort of bilge they broadcast on ITV Be than two nimble wits?
