Jason John Whitehead - Emotional Whitemale

Jason John Whitehead
Emotional Whitemale
JJ IS BACK!!
Canadian comic Jason John Whitehead is back at the festival with his new show, the title of which is a pun no less!!

At the 2007 New Zealand International Comedy Festival he debuted for us with his well received show ‘pretending…..’, last year it was ‘The Joker’ and now Whitehead brings us his latest hour of introspective and sharp stand-up comedy; Emotional Whitemale. When do you get to start your 5 year plan over again? Whitehead will cover the usual array of compelling topics; life, love, the pursuit of debauchery and prevention of happiness, or is it the other way around? Don’t worry, if you haven’t seen any of the jokes from his first two shows you’ll still get the jokes in this one.

Whitehead's informal, almost friendly delivery masks the subtlety and thoughtfulness of his material. He gives the impression of rambling somewhat aimlessly, speaking on any passing whim, but it is a meticulously constructed soliloquy
