From stand-up to teaching
Comedian Jon Richardson has shocked fans by revealing he is leaving comedy behind to pursue a career in teaching. Following a break from stand-up, Jon announced his decision to switch gears and become a teacher, a path he had considered since he was a teenager.
A surprising revelation
In a social media update, Jon shared a diary entry from 1997, where he expressed his desire to be a stand-up comedian but predicted he might end up as a teacher. Reflecting on this, Jon stated that while he loved being a comedian, he wanted to explore the path of teaching. He has completed his teacher training and secured a position in the profession.
Reactions and speculations
Fans were taken aback by Jon's announcement, with some questioning whether it was an early April Fool's joke. Despite the surprise, many expressed support for Jon's new endeavor, with one fan even joking about going back to school just to have Jon as their teacher. Fellow comedian Josh Widdicombe humorously remarked that both comedy and teaching will miss Jon.
From comedy success to teaching
Jon Richardson rose to fame in the comedy scene after winning competitions and appearing on various TV shows, including "8 Out Of 10 Cats" and "Celebrity Gogglebox." Alongside his career, Jon and his then-wife Lucy Beaumont starred in the mockumentary "Meet The Richardsons." The couple announced their separation last year after nine years of marriage.
