Jon Naismith (born 1965) [1] is a producer mainly known for his work on BBC Radio, primarily comedy, including You'll Have Had Your Tea , The Unbelievable Truth and About a Dog .
Since 1991 he has been the producer of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue . [2]
Jon Naismith attended Horris Hill School in Hampshire from 1973 to 1978. [3]
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. [4]
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 [5] ), he is "the mystery voice for listeners at home".
He married Belinda Campbell in Oxfordshire in June 2002. [6]
