John Jacobs

With nearly two decades of sharp-witted comedy under his belt and over 200 million online views to prove it, this Washington DC native storms stages with the kind of electric energy that makes audiences sit up and pay attention. From sharing bills with comedy heavyweights like Anthony Jeselnik, Ron White, Margaret Cho, and Doug Stanhope to co-founding the award-winning satirical news machine Tampa News Force—which has landed him interviews with everyone from Jon Stewart to Godfrey—he's carved out a reputation as a textbook-published author (literally) and a boundary-pushing performer who isn't afraid to tackle the big stuff with razor-sharp wit. His small-screen credits span MTV's Are You The One? and The Challenge, plus appearances across Netflix, NBC, Hulu, Amazon, and Paramount+, proving he's as comfortable in front of cameras as he is wielding a microphone. Whether headlining clubs, tearing up college campuses, or performing internationally, John brings material that's equal parts clever and confrontational. A favourite on the Comedy Boat since 2024, he's become a regular fixture in our Battersea and Soho rooms, delivering sets that blend dark satire, political bite, and observational brilliance with the kind of fearless honesty that leaves crowds howling and hungry for more.
