CHANGE OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR IOG AWARDS
Milton Jones replaces Tom Allen

This week's IOG Industry Awards event now won’t include scheduled comedian Tom Allen - who regrettably has filming commitments with the Great British Bake Off.

 

However, the IOG has signed Milton Jones - the wild-haired ‘Prince of Puns’ as a replacement, who fresh off his UK tour, will be sharing gags to a sell-out audience at the annual Awards night which takes place at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole on the first evening of SALTEX, this Wednesday.


Milton is a previous Perrier Best Newcomer, the winner of two Sony Awards, and a British Comedy Award nominee. His TV credits include Live at the Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Mock the Week, and Dave’s One Night Stand.


One of the UK’s most successful ‘one liner’ stand-ups, Milton’s acclaimed live shows have all played to more than 100,000 people, all of whom laughed themselves silly at lines such as: “About a month before my grandfather died we covered his back with lard. After that he went downhill very quickly.”


Commenting on the new act, IOG CEO Geoff Webb says, “Milton Jones is excellent and his one liners will no doubt have our audience in stitches. We can’t wait to host our 10th edition of the IOG Awards celebrating a decade of achievement in groundsmanship.”
