Jonny is a talented writer, performer and actor and in 2009 he won the Edinburgh Comedy Award (formerly Perrier) for Best Newcomer for his show MOSTLY ABOUT ARTHUR (directed by Stefan Golaszewski), which Nica Burns described as: "a delicious hour of character comedy...unexpected, highly original, very funny. Watch out for him". Jonny re-staged his award-winning piece at the Soho Theatre that autumn.

Jonny perfomed his 2010 Edinburgh Festival show LET'S JUST HAVE SOME FUN (AND LEARN SOMETHING, FOR ONCE) at the Pleasance Courtyard to sold-out audiences and a host of four and five star reviews. The show also had a run at the Soho Theatre.

He recently had his own four part series HARD TO TELL for BBC Radio 4 which he wrote and performed the main character Tom in. He also appeared in the second series of TWENTY TWELVE which is currently airing on BBC2.

In 2011, Jonny appeared on Channel Four as Bert in his original Comedy Showcase pilot CHICKENS alongside writing and performing partners Joe Thomas and Simon Bird. A six part series of CHICKENS has been commissioned by Sky One which they are currently writing.

In 2009, Jonny also appeared in Tom Basden's play PARTY, which won a Fringe First award. The play then transferred to London's Arts Theatre in March 2010 and played at Melbourne and Sydney

He reprised his role of Jared in both series of the radio adaptation of PARTY for BBC Radio 4. A third series will record this summer 2012: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011md6d

He appeared in BBC2's PETE N DUD: THE LOST SKETCHES (alongside Jonathan Ross, Adrian Edmondson, Angus Deayton, Alistair McGowan, Hugh Dennis, Simon Day and Nick Mohammed) and took part in a recreation of various classic sketches. The Metro praised his performance: "Instead the originals were lovingly, though palely, imitated, new boy Jonny Sweet coming closest to catching the anarchic 1960s spirit that Pete and Dud encapsulated."

Jonny and his writing partner Joe Thomas perform together with Simon Bird as HOUSE OF WINDSOR.

Jonny and Joe have been writing and performing comedy together since they met at Cambridge University in 2003. They staged their first hour-long comedy show at the Edinburgh festival in 2006 and were subsequently nominated for the Writer's Guild Comedy Newcomer Award: " The Future", a surreal vision of the workplaces of the future, received excellent reviews:
