Jordan Brookes: Fontanelle review
As Brookes keeps emphasising, it's a show that may not be for everyone. But then maybe that should be engraved on his tombstone. His work never is.

Jordan Brookes had to suffer through a dismal Titanic musical - now it's our turn.
Chortle, 19th February 2025Jordan Brookes: Fontanelle review
Jordan Brookes' Fontanelle showcases his versatile skill and physicality as a comedian while pushing theatrical boundaries with a disjointed exploration of the absurdities of male heroism and the societal need to commodify that necessitates a larger need for continuity.
Tabitha James, A Young(ish) Perspective, 19th February 2025Jordan Brookes: Fontanelle review

Jordan Brookes is piloting Go Home Jordan Brookes, an offbeat, loosely autobiographical sitcom, described as "the small town homecoming story of The Cockfields and Back To Life mixed with the surreal world of Twin Peaks". Co-starring Jan Ravens and Sunil Patel, the boomerang generation sitcom features an ambitious mix of animation, puppetry and deepfake technology, as well as home video footage of Brookes as a child.
