Following appearances in The IT Crowd (Channel 4), Let's Dance for Comic Relief (BBC One), 10 O'Clock Live (Channel 4), comedian, writer and soon a regular on Live at the Electric (BBC Three), Jacob Edwards proudly presents his debut solo show, a mix of alternative characters, stand-up and sketches.

Since his previous successes in Edinburgh with double-act 'The Sunday Defensive', Jacob has been honing a clutch of hilarious personas on the live comedy circuit in London, including hosting his own popular character comedy night 'Jacob Edwards & Other Difficult Characters' in Dalston, every fortnight.

Most recently Jacob featured as a panellist on Big Brother's Bit on the Side (5*), filmed for Richard Hammond's Secret Service (BBC One) and can be seen playing Sylvester in the soon-to-be-released British romantic comedy The Callback Queen.

As well as performing, Jacob is an established television producer, having worked at production companies including Hat Trick, Avalon, Princess Productions, Open Mic and the BBC with both up-and-coming comic talent and established acts such as Harry Hill, Al Murray, Lee Mack, Frank Skinner, Micky Flanagan, Alan Carr and David Walliams.
