Doing Bits with Eshaan Akbar and Vittorio Angelone is a live broadcast event featuring top comedians working on brand new joke ideas that are quarantined in our heads until further notice.

It might be offensive first time round, it might not come out right on the first go but we're here to figure it out and find the funny with feedback from you.

Jacob Hawley is a London based stand-up comedian, writer, performer and me, as seen on BBC3 and heard on BBC Radio 4.

He first performed stand up in 2014, since then he's done hundreds of other, nicer gigs around the UK, including big old sets at some very nice clubs. He was a finalist in the BBC New Comedy Awards in 2017 and he has written and starred (acted) in shorts for BBC3.

In 2018 Jacob did a show called Howl at the Edinburgh Fringe which went down quite well. Bits of this went in to a stand up special called Jacob Hawley's Welcome to Britain for Radio 4 in May 2019. I think it is still available on iPlayer but I'm not 100% sure.

He does a podcast called Jacob Hawley: On Drugs for BBC Sounds. It gets lots of listeners, Adam Deacon was on it and for a while it was 14th in the iTunes chart which is above Peter Crouch!

Jacob did another show in Edinburgh in 2019 called Faliraki. Reviews were nice. The room was usually busy and always too hot. It was better than Howl. And its coming to a town near you soon! Maybe!
