Richard Pulsford: Yorkshire Dad, Immigrant Mum
8 February 2026
Multi-award-winning stand-up comedian Richard Pulsford takes a nostalgic no holds barred tour into his parents’ past to try to understand how it made them who they were, and therefore the person who he is. With a dad from Yorkshire and a ‘foreign’ mum maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise that Richard ended up being, well, ‘funny’.
Richard won Leicester Comedy Festival’s UK Pun Championships in 2022, has had Top Ten Jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe three times, was interviewed on Channel 4’s ‘Steph’s Packed Lunch’ in 2022 and his one-liner show was nominated for ‘Best stand-up’ at Buxton Fringe 2023.
