A.J MARRIOT
Comedian, Author, Writer, Compere, and Presenter
NEW FOR 2025 - CRUISE TALKS
A.J MARRIOT Comedian - The First Twenty Years 'A very funny man' is the
phrase most-used to describe 'A.J' Marriot. This tall, thin, Lancashire
comedian walks, talks, looks, and thinks funny, both off-stage and on,
and is
one of the cleverest and cleanest acts around. He started his
apprenticeship in Comedy with two seasons as a Butlins Redcoat, before
turning
full-time professional in 1975. For three years he toured the North
West, North
East, Scotland, South Wales, and the Midlands; then spent eleven years
based in
Essex, working London and the whole of the South, before returning to
his
native Lancashire in 1989. Included in this are ten Summer Seasons in Residency on Holiday Parks, during which A.J. developed a vast repertoire of comedy material. Class and polish were given to his act while cruising in American waters; and during stays in Jersey, Canada, Corfu, and Lanzarote. More depth and knowledge was added while on tour with Gary Wilmot, the Nolans, and Lenny Henry. .
ALTERNATIVE COMEDIAN In June 2009, after totally reinventing himself and writing a completely new act, A.J launched himself on the circuit of London Alternative Comedy Venues. To date he has worked 'The Lion's Den' (twice); 'Pear-Shaped in Fitzrovia' (twice); 'Party Piece;' 'The Rye Wit,' and 'Downstairs at the King's Head.' Although he is one of the oldest comedians on that circuit, he has been very well received on each occasion, and can't wait to do more.
