Simon Hattenstone and Hadley Freeman, The Guardian, 14th December 2013Jack Whitehall hopes to educate America
Having won the top gong at The British Comedy Awards for the second year running Jack Whitehall has now set his sights on cracking America.
The Daily Express, 14th December 2013Who makes you laugh? You may find yourself asking that more than once tonight as the annual Comedy Awards are dished out. Humour is a subjective business and what makes one person chortle can leave another totally nonplussed. Jonathan Ross will be trying to keep best order for tonight's gag fest and it's good to see fresh-ish names such as Steve Delaney, Jonny Sweet and Tom Basden cropping up among a clutch of usual suspects. The night climaxes with the crowning of the King or Queen of Comedy - can Jack Whitehall hang on to his title? Given he's up against exactly the same opposition as last year - a bit unimaginative, that - then why not?

British Comedy Guide, 12th December 2013Opinion: Comedy gets tied up - with ties
Lots of comedians seem to be getting tied up at the moment and I don't mean in a Fifty Shades of Grey way. John Bishop wears a tie. Jack Whitehall wears a tie. Frankie Boyle might come out with controversial jokes but there is nothing controversial about his tie. I think I've even seen Seann Walsh wear a tie.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 9th December 2013Interview: When Jack Dee met Jack Whitehall
One is the silent brooding type who's been frowning his way to success for 20 years, the other is a cheeky prodigy who can't keep his mouth shut even when it gets him into trouble. Yet they have much more in common than you might think.
Nick Curtis, Evening Standard, 7th December 2013We've seen Greg Davies play a teacher before, of course, and the workless, foul-mouthed truce struck between him and his flock here does smack a little of Jack Whitehall's Bad Education, but Man Down's shortcomings in originality are nulled by a relentless volley of gags, all at Davies's expense, and with many arriving courtesy of a brilliantly cast Rik Mayall as his sadistic prankster dad. Crude, silly and very funny.
Luke Holland & Gwilym Mumford, The Guardian, 30th November 2013How the king or queen of comedy is crowned
Six nominees, including Sarah Millican, Jack Whitehall and Graham Norton, are up for the top comedy award. Who will win? The answer hinges on something I call the Neediness Index.
