William Stone

William Stone is a stand-up, comic actor and writer.

Hailing from a nondescript northern working-class market town, William’s whimsical one-liners won him a spot in the 2018 BBC New Comedy Award final, the Leicester Square New Act of the Year Competition final and the 2Northdown New Act of the year final 2020.

William’s writing has been featured on Mock the Week, The News Quiz and Newsjack. You can also spot William in the sketches he has written and starred in for BBC Three Quickies and NextUp’s Doorstep Comedy. He’s performed live stand-up on BBC Radio 4 and Radio 2. Most recently William was featured as the MC in the hotly anticipated ‘fly on the wall’ comedy show “Live At The Moth Club” on Dave. He is currently supporting Margus Brigstocke on his 2022/23 UK tour.

A regular on the comedy club circuit, William has performed at Komedia, Top Secret Comedy Club, The Comedy Store, Monkey Barell and Banana Cabaret to name a few.

His original, punchy gags combined with his well-crafted ‘confident idiot’ stage persona set him out from other one-liners as a truly unique comedy performer.
