The Canadian comic is a familiar face on Mock The Week, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Live At The Apollo where puns are his speciality.

His latest touring show - Pun Gent - will be full of non-stop quick-fire gags with a hook, punchline and a dose of panache thrown in. Stewart has earned a reputation as one of the finest comics around thanks to his many television appearances and sell out national tours. He even picked up Dave’s Funniest Joke Of The Fringe Award in 2012.
