Paradise found: Milton Jones in a big tent, in the middle of Chapelfield Gardens. On the opening night of Red Card Comedy's sixth festival, Jones set the tone for an event which has fast become a highlight in Norwich's comedy calendar.

You might imagine that an endless stream of one-liners – most of which aren't linked to each other – might become tiring. But no.

This man is a pun machine gun, firing out jokes like they're going out of fashion (which they're not, as Jones' regular appearances on shows such as Mock the Week ably illustrate).

After a st?nt play?ng h?s own Granddad, w?th an h?lar?ous h?stor?cal t?mel?ne, M?lton was back follow?ng an ?mpress?ve set by new comed?an Chr?s Stokes.

He may look as if he's dressed in the dark, but Jones material has a light touch which means his gags are clever, surreal, silly, cutting and spot-on, all at the same time.

By the end of the show, you're left marvelling at how the man can commit such a fast-paced show to memory: I can barely remember more than one computer password.

Having recently stormed the Norwich Playhouse, I'm sure it won't be long before we welcome Milton back to Norfolk.

Catch him then, before he requires a stadium.
