With no topic off-limits, no joke too taboo, Jonathan has launched himself into the world of stand-up over the few years.

Swinging from pro spots at all of the UK’s best comedy clubs, to Roast Battles (UK championship finalist), to the Edinburgh Fringe, to regular TV panel show appearances and writing credits (Late Night Mash / BBC News Quiz / Headliners) Jonathan is building impressive momentum. He’s also had millions of views on his online comedy sketches, but these days that means literally nothing. Grow up.

With a genuine love for and fascination with comedy, he forges his sharp material from a combination of astute observations, self-deprecating Jewish humour and unique one-liners, all with a natural anti-authoritarian slant. He is well aware the emperor wears no clothes, so why should he have to?

Off the stage, as a comedy writer Jonathan is a regular hired gun for many household name comedians. We won’t explicitly say who, but if you ask him in person he’ll almost certainly tell you. Jonathan’s first feature film ‘Sessions’ is releasing in Nov 2026 and has already won best Thriller at the London International Film Festival. He recently filmed a 10 episode TV series with British comedy legend John Cleese, performing and writing along side him. He’s got several other features and series in development. Stay Frosty.

But don’t just take my… I mean… our word for it…
