Jacob Hawley is a BBC New Comedy Award Finalist, a tattoo-emblazoned young man from a working class, leave-voting town, who now boasts an arts degree, a vegetarian girlfriend and an almost convincing concern for climate change (so not far off Billy Elliot).

In this stand-up special, he will use material from his 2018 Edinburgh show Howl to give any foreigners and, if they're listening, aliens, the chance to listen first hand to what Britain is really like based on his experiences of the monotonous suburbs, the insular small towns, the hypocritically righteous city and their inhabitants.
