Jason John Whitehead

"The hit of the
festival'"
- The Scotsman
"So different, so funny!"
- The Mail |
Jason John Whitehead, winner of the BBC New Comedy Award 2000,
is an act fuelled by laid back wit and sarcasm, not to mention
an original style that can only come from a Canadian who has cut
his comedy teeth in Britain.
An international performer since age 24, Jason now lives in
London and performs stand up in America, Ireland, Holland,
Scotland and England.
A regular at the Edinburgh Festival since reaching the finals of
Channel 4's 'So You Think You're Funny' competition in 1999,
2002 saw Whitehead performing his first solo Edinburgh show. In
addition to his annual trips to Edinburgh, he has also made
trips to the Halifax Comedy Festival in his native Canada where
his performance was aired on CBC. Credits include:
Web Rats (BBC Choice) 2002 • How to Survive... (BBC) 2002 •
Halifax Comedy Festival (CBC) Canada 200/01 • BBC New Comedy
Awards (BBC1) 2000 • The Stand Up Show (BBC1) 2000 • The Comedy

Jeff Innocent

“Brilliant!”
- The Times
“Whatever you do in life, don't miss Jeff Innocent on stage!”
- Daily Telegraph
|
Jeff Innocent is an established and popular
stand-up comedian on the British live comedy circuit and has
appeared on national television many times.
He is from East London and had a typical ‘East End’ upbringing.
Born in a workhouse, his mother dying in childbirth, he joined a
gang of child pickpockets who preyed upon London’s rich. He was
eventually saved by one of his very victims, a Professor Higgins
who sought unsuccessfully to reform Jeff’s street urchin
existence. Inevitably ‘nabbed’ by the Peelers and transported to
Australia, he escaped back to the ‘East End’ where he briefly
played inside-right for West Ham United. He later joined The
Small Faces and worked for the Kray Twins. In his spare time
Jeff enjoys Greyhound racing, listening to the music of Lee
Perry and reading Walter Benjamin. Credits include:

Borneo and has performed stand up comedy in Shanghai, Jakarta,
Singapore, Brussels, Oslo, and Copenhagen. In 2003 he played 3
nights at the National Theatre of Iceland.
In 2000, he fronted "The Other Side", a C4 documentary, also
featuring Eddie Izzard, as the two comedians toured New Zealand.
Other TV appearances include "The Comedy Store" and "Live at
Jongleurs". Most recently, he joined Armando Iannucci for three
out of four of Channel 4's new topical show - "Gash".
As a television presenter for the BBC, he has interviewed many
major stars including Dennis Hopper, Tom Jones,

Ivana Trump, Guy Pearce and Kylie Minogue to
name but a few. |
