Jack Whitehall

At just nineteen years old, Jack Whitehall has made a remarkable impact upon the comedy world.

Fresh from an impressive debut Edinburgh Fringe Festival with a host of competition titles and an array of live appearances under his belt, this so-called ‘newcomer' is involved with a number of television projects and recently hosted the live launch of Big Brother's Big Mouth with a full week's presenting in the pipeline.

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 on the last weekend of the festival after four rounds, Jack 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."

In between performing to packed houses in the Comedy Reserve, Jack appeared in several long running Fringe showcases, including The Late Show, Afterhours, BBC Stand Up Show Live and Political Animal, for which he was the first stand-up to appear below the legal voting age. With just a year's experience, Jack comperes and books his own successful comedy night in Manchester and has successfully established himself on the London circuit, having appeared at The Comedy Store, Banana Cabaret, Jongleurs, The Frog and Bucket, The Arts Theatre and The Soho Theatre.
