Joe Riley is a countryside kid who stumbled upon a city. Armed with imaginative jokes and stories that have to be heard to be believed. He brings buckets of joy to every gig.

"Joe Riley invites the audience into a distinctive world rarely shared in stand-up.

Interesting, evocative and distinctive and intriguing". Chortle

"infectiously silly" Matt Rees.
