Jason Lewis: Not Just a Comedian....

Check out Jason's interview this month with Flavour Magazine...

By Annika Allen, Editor

Jason is not your typical comedian; Jason trained as an actor for 6 years at the Anna Scher Theatre and also has a degree in International Tourism Management. The multi-talented actor, writer and comedian burst onto the UK comedy scene only a few years ago. Since then, he has gained critical acclaim from his hit spoof video ‘Black Boys’ (a parody of Bashy’s Black Boys) and more recently ‘Too Many Weave’, with Daniel Kaluuya, which has already received over 200,000 hits online. Jason’s natural ability to make people laugh, is apparent on The Jason Lewis Experience; a unique presentation of sketch comedy at its best, looking at real life issues with a humorous twist.

Jason has also worked as an actor and writer for the new BBC sketch show Bellamy's People (created by BAFTA award winners and UK comedy heavyweights, Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson), as well as the BBC sitcom Miranda. I sat down with Jason to discuss his thoughts on the UK comedy scene.

So Jase, what made you decide to get into comedy?

I was always a bit of a cheeky kid back at school and loads of people used to tell me how funny I was...
