Jon Naismith

Early life Jon Naismith attended Horris Hill School in Hampshire from 1973 to 1978.

Naismith was a member of Footlights at the University of Cambridge and Junior Treasurer from 1987–1988. He co-wrote and starred in the 1988 revue Sheep Go Bare alongside Mel Giedroyc, Simon Munnery, Tom Hollander, Dan Gooch and Sarah Dudman.

Work Naismith has been producer of the long-running radio panel show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue since 1991. The episodes are recorded before a live theatre audience, with two programmes being recorded at each performance and Naismith traditionally performs the duties of "warmup artist". This usually involves testing sound recording levels by means of a "patronising audience participation exercise" and a joke. Naismith also provides the voiceovers for the show, such as when the host talks about something appearing on the "laser display board" (actually Naismith displaying a large card to the audience ), he is "the mystery voice for listeners at home".
