Maria Kempinska

Jongleurs Comedy Ltd has helped to launch the careers of some of the biggest names in comedy and show business such as Eddie Izzard, Harry Enfield, Al Murray, Jack Dee and Graham Norton. Maria Kempinska established and opened the first Jongleurs club back in 1983 in Battersea, London. In 1985 Maria then met her business partner John Davy, and together they built the Jongleurs brand. Jongleurs Comedy Ltd is the company which owns the Jongleurs brand both within the UK and around the world. Jongleurs Comedy Ltd is Europe's largest chain of purpose built comedy clubs and the number one comedy brand in the UK. The Jongleurs Brand is one of the world's leading brands for comedy and provides a wide variety of events, content, marketing and business solutions for consumers and corporate clients. Over the years, comedy has spread to a wider audience and comedians have developed to what the audiences of today want, which is politics, relationships and general lifestyle issues. I still get excited about auditioning new acts and bringing Jongleurs to a new town.
