Jack Whitehall

Jack Whitehall

 

At just twenty-two years old, Jack Whitehall has made a remarkable impact upon the comedy world.  In August 2009, he was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards for his debut solo Fringe show, Nearly Rebellious.  The show received rave reviews and completely sold out. In 2010 he returned to the Edinburgh with a brand new stand up show entitled Learning Difficulties, once again picking up great reviews and playing to packed houses.

Having established his prodigious talent on the live circuit, with several competition wins and two sell out Edinburgh shows, this so-called ‘newcomer’ has become an increasingly sought after television stand up star. Currently a regular on Stand Up For The Week, Channel 4’s weekly satirical live stand up show, Jack has also appeared on the most recent series of Live at the Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Mock The Week. Also an experienced presenter, Jack has guest-hosted Never Mind the Buzzcocks, co-written and presented TNT Show on Channel 4 and in 2009, hosted Celebrity Big Brother’s Big Mouth for its three week run live on E4.

In July 2010 Jack performed at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival as part of the prestigious New Faces line-up and was picked out by Hollywood industry bible Variety as one of their “10 Comics to Watch”. A nomination for the 2010 British Comedy Awards in the Best Male Comedy Breakthrough Artist category capped a truly incredible year for Jack which also saw him have the honour of performing for the Prince of Wales at the Royal Variety Performance and jetting off to New York to record a special for Comedy Central Presents.

Jack’s other recent television appearances include Alan Carr: Chatty Man, 8 Out of 10 Cats, You Have Been Watching, Would I Lie to You?, The Graham Norton Show as well as A Comedy Roast and Channel 4’s Comedy Gala filmed at the O2.
