With a BA in Music Theatre (which they barely use), award-winning Writer and Performer Jared Jekyll has done stuff.
They have been seen on TV as a comedian; actor and capitalist puppet: peddling everything from Fast Food and Pharmaceuticals, to Alcohol and Tech.
They have been heard on Radio, as a personality and musical artist. One time they opened for late rap legend DMX.As an actor they were privileged enough to star in a film with Hugo Weaving, and win a handful of awards for various small screen shenanigans.
They have written over 10 touring shows, both as a writer for others and for themself, some of which have been nominated or won awards, others were never heard of again - that's the industry, baby!
At their peak in comedy, they were invited to play iconic rooms: UCB New York and The World Famous Comedy Store in Hollywood.
They have sold out shows Australia-wide as a solo act and with their defunct cult duo Jekyll x James .
Jared has supported international acts Tony Hinchcliffe, DJ Douggpound, Ari Shaffir & Tom Green both in Australia and in the USA.
They're pretty good and talented but perpetually on the edge of leaving the industry because their imposter syndrome has a god complex.
