Tony Jameson

The north easts newest rising star, Tony Jameson, brings his hilarious sell-out debut Edinburgh Festival show on the road with his first ever UK tour.

‘Football Manager Ruined My Life’ focuses on Tony’s apparent mid-life crisis (he’s only 33, though) and a realisation that he has spent 20 years playing the same video game. He thinks he’s achieved some good things in his life, but could his life have been any better if he had applied his energies elsewhere?

With a warm, amiable and conversational style, Tony brings a mixture of silly stories and references to footballers you may / may not have heard of. But its more than just a riff on football. Tony looks into whether he’s an addict, is it escapism, or is he just a dick head who should know better?
