2018 Edinburgh Fringe
Jacob Hawley: Howl
BBC New Comedy 2017 finalist Jacob Hawley presents his highly-anticipated debut hour. Hailing from a working-class Brexit town, Jacob now has an arts degree, a vegetarian girlfriend and an almost-convincing concern for climate change. It's not quite Billy Elliot but it's something. 'A mature, sharp wit, a relaxed manner and an undertow of political passion... clever, and different' (Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard). 'Mocks blind patriotism in an enjoyably offbeat way. Nicely Wry' (Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk). As seen on BBC Three and heard on BBC Radio 4.
