Jack Shep on hosting Wanting To Be Cool, Having To Be Funny, queer comedy, and surprising audiences

I chat with comedian and SNL UK breakout star Jack Shep about his comedy night Wanting To Be Cool, Having To Be Funny at Moth Club London and Edinburgh Fringe. We dive into the origins of the night’s name, his journey from film studies to comedy, and his thoughts on queerness in comedy beyond identity politics.
