Jonathan Kogan

Picture this: a self-deprecating Jewish comic who moonlights as a bassist in Area 11, spends his days crafting jokes for household-name comedians, and somehow still finds time to battle his way through UK Roast Battle Championships (finalist, thank you very much). That's Jonathan Kogan—Kogie to his mates—and he's been lighting up stages across London with his astute observations, razor-sharp one-liners, and delightfully anti-authoritarian cheek.

Since launching himself into stand-up around four years ago, Jonathan's racked up millions of views on his comedy sketches, written for Late Night Mash, BBC News Quiz, and Headliners, and even filmed a 10-episode TV series alongside John Cleese. He's a regular fixture on GBNews's Free Speech Nation and has taken his clever, original material to the Edinburgh Fringe multiple times. Currently co-writing a feature film called Sessions, this multitasking marvel swings effortlessly between pro spots at London's finest clubs and bringing the house down with his uniquely charming brand of comedy.

Recently engaged to actress Miracle Chance and a favourite at Rum Monkey since discovering the club, Jonathan's the sort of performer who makes you laugh, think, and wonder how one person fits so much talent into their schedule.
