Holly Redford Jones is a comedian and musician from Chesterfield, now based in Manchester.

Her debut show ‘I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar’ won Best Stand Up Comedy and Runner Up of Best LGBTQ+ Production at the Greater Manchester Fringe 2024, bringing together her three greatest passions: music, comedy and lesbians.

After discovering her knack for making audiences laugh during her time as a touring musician, Holly decided to dive into stand-up comedy in 2023. She completed a comedy course at Manchester’s iconic Frog & Bucket venue and began fusing her comedic timing with her musical instincts. Her performances capture the energy of a live gig, bringing audiences together through laughter and music.

In 2024, Holly sold out all three work in progress shows for ‘I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar’ in Manchester and was awarded the Keep it Fringe fund grant to take the show to the Edinburgh Fringe. She was also a Semi Finalist of the LGBTQ New Comedian of the Year and is a current recipient of Dibby Theatre’s ‘Glow Up’ Bursary.
