At just twenty years old, Jack Whitehall has made a remarkable impact upon the comedy world.  Just a year after his impressive debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and with a host of competition titles and an array of live appearances under his belt, this so-called ‘newcomer’ is currently co-writing and hosting TNT Show on Channel 4.  He also hosted Celebrity Big Brother’s Big Mouth for its three week run live on E4 and other recent television appearances include The Sunday Night Project, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul and Would I Lie to You.

Born into a theatrical family, Jack initially worked as a child actor in various television dramas but shortly after leaving school he decided to pursue a career in stand up comedy.  Six months later, aged 18, he beat over 600 contestants to become the youngest ever comedian to reach the final of the prestigious Laughing Horse New Act competition for which he finished runner up. In addition, he battled his way through a tense two night London competition to secure a place on the Pleasance Comedy Reserve.  Whilst at the Fringe, he reached the final of Channel 5’s So You Think You’re Funny? and was crowned the youngest ever Winner of The Amused Moose New Act of the Year, leading Time Out to pinpoint him as “a rising star.”  Jack has established himself on the London circuit, having appeared at all the top clubs including The Comedy Store, Banana Cabaret, Jongleurs, The Monday Club and Funnyside and he recently supported James Corden and Mat Horne on their mini tour, Is This Funny? In August he will be heading back to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his first, hotly anticipated solo show.

Jack is making a strong impression on the London circuit, having appeared at The Comedy Store, Banana Cabaret, Jongleurs, The Frog and Bucket, The Funnyside of Covent Garden, 99 Club, The Arts Theatre and The Soho Theatre.
