As a successful and much sought-after stand up, actor, writer and presenter, Jack has firmly established himself as one of the UK’s most exciting and successful comedy talents, a status cemented by his People’s Choice Award for the King of Comedy at the 2012, 2013 & 2014 British Comedy Awards.

A talented actor, Jack received critical acclaim and another British Comedy Award nomination for his portrayal of former public schoolboy JP in the hit C4 comedy drama Fresh Meat. Jack received similar praise for his revival of JP in the second series of the show, as well as being nominated for Best Comedy Performance at the Royal Television Society Awards. Series 3 was also brilliantly received, with the equally critically-acclaimed 4th series airing in early 2016.

In 2012 Jack created hit school-based sitcom Bad Education, which concluded in 2014 after three critically- acclaimed series.

Jack hosts his own chat show with his father Michael Whitehall on BBC 3 entitled Backchat and is a regular panelist for Sky 1’s A League of Their Own.
