Joel Montague has built a reputation as one of the West End’s most versatile and joyfully comic performers, who specialises in bringing laughter, warmth and heart to every role he takes on. With his comic timing, rich vocals and infectious energy, Joel is the kind of actor who makes even the smallest role sparkle. He’s also one half of musical theatre’s ultimate stagey couple, sharing both stage and his life with wife, Carrie Hope Fletcher.
Who is Joel Montague?
