At just twenty years old, Jack Whitehall has made a remarkable impact upon the comedy world.  With just a year’s experience, Jack has recently been involved with a number of television projects including hosting the live launch show of Big Brother's Big Mouth followed by a week as the resident host, E4 Funnycuts and Ruddy Hell it's Harry and Paul with plenty more 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 – a showcase of the best in upcoming comedy talent at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  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.

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.
