                 Jason Cook                      

Jason Cook's one hour show "My Confessions" won numerous five star reviews at the 2007 Edinburgh festival which goes to prove without a doubt, that this is a comedian with bags of talent.

”.. a genuinely life-affirming hour.” – The Herald

You should normally prepare for anything when razor-sharp Geordie Jason Cook takes to the stage, but with this show Jason has gone one step further and set himself the ultimate comedian's challenge - to perform a show without embellishment, exaggeration or poetic license. A show that's 100% true.

Previously compelled by the hen party and office crowd to pepper his storytelling with knob gags in order to meet their desired filth quota, every single word in Jason's new show is fact. A collection of 'confessions', Jason examines his own misdeeds and inadequacies, from the stupidly hilarious to the deeply moving.

“This is powerful, visceral comedy that grabs your

feelings and wrenches them from one direction to another. “ - Chortle

Turning his dark, offbeat and irreverent style on himself has proved a cathartic experience for Jason, unearthing things about himself he’d probably rather have kept under wraps.

Cook is one of the great hopes of the UK circuit - an act that’s close to the edge, but always intriguing and blessed with the sort of charm that’ll have you laughing in spite of yourself. When The Metro says he ‘makes Doug Stanhope look like a Girl Guide’ you get the measure of how acerbic Jason’s outlook is. It has also been remarked that Mr. Cook also bears a striking resemblance to Herr Karl Karl of one of the world’s foremost techno bands, Die Clatterschenkenfietermaus.

Join Jason for true confessions that will drag you in and refuse to let go. His new solo show is moving, personal and very funny too - no lie.

Jason is supported by the fast rising Chris Ramsey - another Geordie who many are predicting big things for in the future.  Chris will be performing a 20minute support set.
