About John

Haven't won any awards, no finals.

I live in London.

Below is what has been said about me in 2011 and 2012.

"Weird, room-splitting lunacy that's certain to get talked about... A throwback to the days of alternative cabaret... his unwavering commitment to the absurd cannot be doubted in such a forceful performance."
Steve Bennett - Chortle, 2012

"Manages to be both threatening and ridiculous at the same time. Imagine a large man in pink satin stilettos, manically shrieking along to 'Jet' by Wings while straddling an audience member. Whatever image that conjures up in your imagination, it's a heck of lot weirder in real life. And seriously bloody funny."
Velvet Onion, 2012

"Kearns brings a manic and fast-paced routine to the stage that will leave you shaking with laughter long after you've left."
Three Weeks

"Kearns takes some big risks in a surreal, aggressive set yet when the laughs do hit, they hit really hard. Twisted imagery brings big belly laughs and surreal stories build slowly to great climaxes. There are points where he seems in danger of losing the entire audience, but every time he brings it back with spectacular style, getting as much of a response for that one last joke than a more easy-going act would get for five. His on-stage persona is intense and sometimes unnerving, but he keeps the audience riveted and delivers the laughs."
British Comedy Guide

"Excellent, surrealist ranter."
Spoonfed

"Truly unique... a joy to behold... possibly the most offensive comedian I've ever seen."
Broadway Baby

"John Kearns pretends to know everyone in the room and does whale impressions. Fair enough."
The Skinny

"The hat, however, has to be doffed to the final two Lunchtime Club members to take the stage: Joe Wells and John Kearns. Each had a completely unique approach - one erudite, the other barmy - but they each managed to steal the show."
Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

"Witty, often hilarious, unrelenting... revs the audience to an excitable pitch."

"This is a strange, but ultimately entertaining hour of hokum; frequently bizarre but often funny in its own ridiculous way."
Steve Bennett - Chortle (on Dinner Party)

"Original, dark, bold, and it goes for dramatic impact as much as it goes for laughs. Won't be for everyone."
London is Funny (on Dinner Party)

"A highly imaginative, inventive and raw debut hour."
Spoonfed (on Dinner Party)
