Front Row Comedy

Duncan Oakley

Duncan Oakley is a powerhouse performer who seamlessly blends rock-star musicianship with an infectiously silly, delightfully childlike stage presence. Armed with his beloved guitars—Maurice the Fender Strat or No. 7 the acoustic—Oakley has been an absolute force on the UK and international live circuit since 1999. He combines an eye for life's absurdities with genuinely catchy hooks that leave crowds humming his ridiculous tunes for days. His raw talent and relentless pacing won him the titles of English Comedian of the Year in 2015 and Midlands Comedian of the Year in 2016. Beyond the stage, Oakley has brought his mischievous energy to BBC Radio 4 and starred in the independent feature film Frontman.
