Jacob Jackman - Mr Comedy

Comedy • Stand-up
South Australia • World Premiere

Hailed as "Hilarious, absurd, poignant, irreverent" Jacob Jackman presents one comedian's attempt to write, direct, produce, and star in a biopic about the greatest comedian in the world (no relation).

Jerry Pissfeld, the world's foremost piss-based observational comedian, was once a household name. Now, shrouded in controversy and desperate for cultural relevance, Pissfeld is slated for the comeback of the century. 

A tale about the highs and lows of show business told by someone acquainted only with the lows, Jacob Jackman will do anything to fund this show, even if it means working in an animal crematorium or selling his body to medical science.

See why they call him Mr Comedy!

★★★★ "A one-man masterclass of stand-up, sketch comedy, silliness and social commentary" - Upside Adelaide

Presented by: Jacob Jackman

Performing standup comedy since 2018, Jacob has crafted an inimitable stage presence. Characterized by his dry slacker charm. His style ranges from darkly philosophical to the gleefully absurd. Based in Adelaide South Australia, Jacob was a Raw Comedy 2019 National Finalist and currently manages and produces regular comedy rooms in Adelaide.
"Had the audience in hysterics" - The Advertiser
"Genuinely original and sidesplitting" - GlamAdelaide
"Weird is Jacob's watchword... he is certainly memorable" - Chortle
