Jonny is currently developing original vehicles with both Talkback and BBC Radio 4, alongside writing an original comedy for Tiger Aspect. Later this year, he will record his four part series LISTEN TO THIS for BBC Radio 4 which he will write and also perform in. He will shortly be seen on Channel Four as Bert in his original Comedy Showcase pilot CHICKENS alongside writing and performing partners Joe Thomas and Simon Bird. They are developing several other original comedies together. In 2009, Jonny 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 earlier this year. The same year in Edinburgh Jonny also appeared in Tom Basden's new play PARTY, which won a Fringe First award - Jonny reprised his role in a Radio 4 adaptation and transfer to London's Arts Theatre in March 2010. Jonny recently 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: "Unmissable *****" The List "A truly unique new voice" Chortle |
