Jason Cook is an acclaimed stand-up comedian, award-winning screenwriter, and powerhouse of live comedy with over two decades at the forefront of the industry.
Celebrated for his hyper-fast crowd work, natural warmth, and effortless storytelling, he is a regular headliner and MC at comedy clubs around the world, as well as the founder of his very own highly successful Jason Cook’s Comedy Club. His versatility as a live performer is currently showcased in his hit residency Just Us at The Customs House in South Shields—a completely improvised, high-wire solo show with no script and no safety net that consistently performs to consecutive sell-out crowds.
Beyond the live stage, Jason is a highly respected creative force in British television and digital media.
He is the creator and lead writer of the hit BBC sitcom Hebburn, which won the RTS Award for Best Drama, and the writer behind Gold’s record-breaking comedy-mystery movie Murder on the Blackpool Express.
Alongside his extensive broadcast writing and acting credits, he continues to connect with global audiences as the creator and co-host of the fast-paced comedy-fact podcast Things We Didn’t Know with Carl Hutchinson, cementing his reputation as one of the North East’s most prolific and enduring comedic talents.
