Jez Brown

JEZ BROWN specialises in earworms.

Catchy, irritable and inclined to get in your ear, Jez is a triple threat.

Jez's bittersweet self deprecation and surprisingly angelic delivery bely the candid satire of his musings and lyrics. Songs such as "Bum the puppies", "Spacequeers and Mooncat" and "Bum the puppies (reprise)" tackling politics and major social issues.

Jez's acerbic wit has been on radio and television in New Zealand since 1998, gracing the stages of the New Zealand International Comedy Festival in 2011 and 2013.

Jez has taken advantage of his father being born on the Welsh border and kidnapped as a child to move to the UK from New Zealand with a fully legal backdoor passport.
