Jomi Cruz

Imagine a Portuguese whirlwind with the energy of someone who's had three espressos and a brilliant idea all at once—that's the force of nature you get when this comic takes the stage. Jomi Cruz has been wreaking havoc on London's comedy circuit since 2021, turning stories from his chaotic life into observational gold that hits just right.

Hailing from Cascais, Portugal, this multi-talented performer isn't just making audiences howl—he's also building the scene itself as founder and resident MC of Comedy Freaks. His sharp storytelling and infectious energy caught the attention of the BBC New Comedy Awards, where he was shortlisted in 2024, proving that the judges have excellent taste. When he's not hosting Don't Tell Comedy's secret London shows or creating viral content that showcases the city's best comedic talent, you'll find him doing what he does best: connecting with crowds and making every night feel like the best house party you've ever been to.

A favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, Jomi brings the kind of exuberant chaos that makes Rum Monkey nights unforgettable. Whether he's riffing on European problems or diving into the absurdities of being a walking existential crisis, this is one comedian who knows how to light up a room.
