Jacob Hawley is a London based stand-up comedian, writer, performer and me, as seen on BBC3 and heard on BBC Radio 4.
He (…I) first performed stand up in 2014, since then he’s done hundreds of other, nicer gigs around the UK, including big old sets at some very nice clubs. He was a finalist in the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2017 and he has written and starred (acted) in shorts for BBC3.
In 2018 Jacob did a show called Howl (not sure what I should or shouldn’t put in bold anymore) at the Edinburgh Fringe which went down quite well. Bits of this went in to a stand up special called Jacob Hawley’s Welcome to Britain for Radio 4 in May 2019. I think it is still available on iPlayer but I’m not 100% sure.
‘Intelligent and important, his self-aware set sees him explore themes of class and identity in the modern world expertly.’
The Sunday Post
‘A down-to-earth talent who's got it in spades, it's an impressive, strong debut show that makes it feel like he's already been doing this for years.’
The List
‘A mature, sharp wit, a relaxed manner and an undertow of political passion… Clever, and different.’
