Jon Allen

Picture this: a comedian walks onto the stage at the Rum Monkey Comedy Club, ready to bring the laughs to one of London's most distinctive comedy venues. That's Jon Allen, a comic who's been gracing both our legendary Comedy Boat on Battersea Barge and our intimate Soho basement venue since 2024.

While Jon keeps a relatively low profile in the digital realm—no flashy Instagram reels or viral TikToks here—those lucky enough to catch one of their two sets at Rum Monkey know there's genuine talent at work. Sometimes the best comedians let their stage presence do the talking, and Jon's approach is refreshingly old-school in that way. The laughter speaks louder than any algorithm ever could.

Jon represents exactly what The Rum Monkey Comedy Club champions: giving talented performers a platform to showcase their craft in London's most unique comedy settings. Whether delivering punchlines while floating on the Thames at our Battersea Barge location or working the crowd in our cozy Soho spot in the heart of the West End, Jon brings authentic comedy that connects with audiences who appreciate the real deal. A favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, Jon Allen is proof that great comedy doesn't always come with a blue checkmark—sometimes it just comes with perfect timing and genuine laughs.
