Hi! My name is Jain. I am a stand up comedian, actor and writer based in Manchester. Feel free to get in touch! https://www.jainedwards.com/press daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/15e2bb6e-2bc6-4655-bf24-1ad3ecfab807/IMG_7445.JPG Press - British Comedy Guide She-Devil is one hell of a debut hour. A monologue of everyday grubby terror, Edwards softly talks us down into her smiley murk. An opening rigmarole of her time working at Babestation to pay off her ex-boyfriend's debt is juicy with prosaic, humdrum details. A seemingly carefree Billy Liar oversharing from her grim non-reality of exploitation and addiction. Then we push out on an odyssey that takes in the 2p falls machines at the arcade, Shrek themed weddings in Rhyl and a nightmarish leg stretching boyfriend. Every sentence is a twist, screwing your head around and around with unexpected mundane details. Every man feeds of this cheery, embattled innocent. There is an air of Philomena Cunk in Edwards' mode of humour. A deliberately blinkered, limited worldview that reveals greater truth. A snarky mish mash of a Bella true story confessional and the Guardian culture section. Low status tone, genius writing. She keep her voice steady and at leisurely pace, her North Wales timpani rarely betraying emotion or stoking the audience. This is a fixed performance built to surrender all razzle dazzle so the packed script receives the limelight. She remains fastened with a granite naivety centre stage, the audience becoming transfixed with every booby trap description and unlikely reveal. Bleak ASMR from a working class laureate. She can mix Orwell references with counterfeit Homer Simpson plushies, often in the same breath. There is intellectual intent here rather than subjugating feminism for Instagram likes. It is reassuring for me to see a talent who is so skilled and deft with the powerful tool she wields; rigorously understands its use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/8dfc957a-3aea-49ee-9883-23ed77f77011/JAIN11942+-+LOWRES.jpg Press - The Guardian Best of the fest: 10 of the best shows to catch at this year’s Edinburgh fringe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/1626037700101-B3SZ9RLKOZZ50EBNH9VJ/Jain-Edwards_Web.jpg Press - The Guardian Beyond The Comic Strip: what does ‘alternative comedy’ mean in 2022? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/1625521319576-VOLDCMAVEQUUWLQ57ZO3/the-guardian-logo.jpg Press - How standups swapped the fringe for Twitch As a comedian who turned to online streaming during the pandemic, I was lucky enough to be interviewed among some absolute legends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/1635196634638-IPZHEGYZ4F6WXCQFD6PO/tjes.jpg Press - The Jain Edwards Show A fantastic write up for the first The Jain Edwards show from Creative Tourist. https://www.jainedwards.com/acting daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/ea3d5d9b-e4d4-44c4-abc3-0bb8a39aa9b5/Don%27t+Over+Think+It.png Acting Don't Overthink It - Produced by Daddy's Super Yatch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/ee14064a-b60d-4993-94b3-64f5aa021d0e/Milksahke.png Acting Alex in BBC3's Laugh Lessons - Produced by Little Wander, written by Hannah Platt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/7760d2d7-cb75-4af8-9ee2-d5eb6b0a0c39/Pulped+Barefoot+sketch.png Acting Barefoot Sketch - Produced by Daddy's Super Yatch, written by Jain Edwards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/cf9a16c8-1370-47e7-bbd5-5f63f2e3f3bf/sunny+rhyl.png Acting Secrets of the Welsh Seaside: Little Venice - Filmed by Foxdog Studios, Written by Jain Edwards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/3c8bff55-b527-4bec-88d9-aa2fc6e1eec3/pulped.png Acting Visit Yorkshire - Produced by Daddy's Super Yatch for Pulped https://www.jainedwards.com/podcasts daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/93d8b9bb-1ebd-40e0-9c08-69d48d889772/Paradise+Found.jpg Podcasts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/446ab78c-dd8a-4008-9c77-cf1a640e8333/lovely.jpg Podcasts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/db90372a-70bb-4611-9eb4-bb022bd9c5b5/tiredness.jpg Podcasts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/acd657f1-2270-4aed-bd2b-dcbc932a79cb/pictu.jpg Podcasts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/37015bb5-1107-437e-bf92-4c2729241791/mando.jpg Podcasts https://www.jainedwards.com/writing daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/d82576ca-fe7c-4707-8e7b-c3308c2e047e/skinny.jpg Writing ICYMI: Jain Edwards on Spitting Image For The Skinny Image credit: Edith Ault https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e20c17108d914751a20d9c/26fd34f6-c1fe-48fe-adcd-efd462d8ee64/sencecast.png Writing SeanceCast by Charlie Dinkin and Zoe Tomalin.
