Jason came from humble beginnings as a glass collector at Manchester’s Buzz Comedy Club and began to star on Live at the Apollo, QI and 8 Out Of Cats as well as successful theatre stints in The Producers, Sweeney Todd and his recent run in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. His career has seen him become what the BBC describe as ‘a true master of observational comedy.’
