Jake was born in the 90s, a teenager in the 2000s, and never really fit in. Turns out being into X-Men and the band Weezer didn’t win you much respect growing up in a North East ex-mining village. He only had one real dream but never followed it. Maybe all of this is why he’s ended up the way he is. Brand-new stand-up comedy from BBC New Comedy Award 2024 finalist Jake Donaldson, packed with nostalgia, punchy jokes and stories about finding your place in the world. ‘Excellent’ (Comedy.co.uk). ‘Truly brilliant humour’ **** (NorthWestEnd.co.uk).
