Milton Jones - For One Night Only

This clip features the comedian Milton Jones from the show For One Night Only.

After the creative success of Saturday Live Again, broadcast in December 2007, ITV decided to commit to more comedy and music on ITV1 for 2008. The result was a co-production with ITV Productions called For One Night Only, a huge-scale variety music and comedy spectacular. Each week the show had a different pair of co-hosts - Vernon Kay and Joan Rivers anyone? - and just to make things more exciting, the series went out live (although the third one had a scheduling tussle with X Factor and had to transmit a little later). The show featured huge mainstream pop stars - Pink, Rihanna, Will Young, Pussycat Dolls, Tom Jones, Michael Bublé- all bumping shoulders in the narrow corridors at Fountain Studios with stand-ups like Milton Jones, Will Smith, Stephen K Amos and Mark Watson and a bunch of Chinese acrobats or a German wheel dancer or whichever crazy variety act had been booked that week....

Milton never gets old. His grandfathers, your houses stink. Mock the Week or his standup, i watch every 3 months or so when i am feeling down. He gets me to smile.

Disney need to learn THIS is how you subvert expectations

I love the constant progression of his craft and jokes 🙇‍♂️🙏🙉🥸✊🏻✌🏻❤️🇬🇧

Milton is humorous without resorting to bad language in order to attract his audience.

[droses]

He usually finishes off his set by asking: "Are there any aromatheraists in tonight?". Of course the audience is expecting the 'your houses stink' line, but he changes it to 'your houses smell lovely -somebody has to tell them'.

Wonderful comedian and for once, a good crowd worthy of the performance.

Nice to know Orinoco from wombles went on to become a success on his own

I wish the shops would still sell clothes like that

Very clever he has a face for comedy, that zany look similar to the late great Norman Collier. Hope he comes to Nottingham would love to see his show.

Milton Jones must lead a strange existence. He has an inexhaustible source of comedy material - everything he ever does or hears, sees or reads and probably even things he says. But can he ever just get on with life without wondering whether there's a joke somewhere in every bit of language or situation he encounters? I've tried this. It's not too difficult to think things up but these things are nowhere near good enough to go on stage and make people laugh with. HMJ's jokes, on the other hand, are plenty good enough and he's certainly very good at delivering them.

New fan theory: the joke at 4:39 is the secret premise of Spy Versus Spy! 😲🕵️
