Jason Canning

Born in South East England, Jason began “acting up” at an early age. Known better for his classroom antics than his academic achievements, Jason knew a career involving algebra was not in his future

Playing the role of Fat Sam in Bugsy Malone, in his final year of school, marked Jason’s entry into entertainment and finally some popularity. Shoving a pillow up his shirt and playing an American gangster in a school play was Jason’s teen highlight

Rounding off his education at 16, Jason formed a double act with school mate John Keates called “Alas Keates & Canning”.  A parody of comedy sketches based on the popular BBC series at the time “Alas Smith & Jones”. Sadly the act died when it was no longer mandatory to attend to school

“If you keep pulling faces you’ll stay like that!” Wise words from mother Canning. Well in 1999 that’s exactly what happened as Jason’s face was immortalized as the whacky, Jim Carrey like Mr. Paramount, the face of the Paramount Comedy Channel

He soon became a popular personality on British television hosting on the BBC, Disney Channel ITV and even performing at London’s Royal Albert Hall in front of an audience of 5000

Then came the biggest upset in Canning history Jason moved to LA!

The minute the ink dried on his green card Jason got to work, starting at E! Entertainment narrating their long running movie review show, Extreme Close-Up and spilling the celebrity gossip on Gone Bad

Upon setting foot on the new continent Jason brought his fish out of water tales of life in America to the comedy stage and embarked on his life long dream of becoming a stand-up comic. From years of hitting stages big & small across the country Jason’s clean comedy has a wide appeal and can only be described as what would happen if you crossed Jim Carrey with Hugh Grant, hilarious & polite!

Jason never holds back on stage and feels life has come full circle now where cracking up a room full of people only brings him more work instead of detention!
