Spencer Jones is an English actor, comedian and writer. He has performed regularly at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and in 2017 was nominated for the main prize in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. He was co-creator and co-star of the BAFTA-nominated CBBC comedy Big Babies, and has a regular role in the sitcom Upstart Crow.

Career

Jones co-created with Jon Riche and co-starred in Big Babies for CBBC in 2010.[2] The series was nominated for the BAFTA award for best children's comedy that year.

In 2011 he appeared in the play Wedding Band at the Edinburgh Fringe.[4] Subsequently, he has performed in solo shows. He first performed his own show at the Fringe in Bob Slayer's Bookshop in 2014, performing as his character, The Herbert.[5] In 2015 he came joint second (with Jenny Collier) in the New Act of the Year final.[1] He won the Comedian's Choice award (also known as The Barry Award) for both "best show" and "best performer" the same year for his Edinburgh show, The Herbert In Proper Job at another of Bob Slayer's Heroes of Fringe venue, The Hive.[7]

In 2015 Jones wrote and starred in the comedy short Spencer Jones's Christmas for Sky TV's on demand service, which won the 2016 Broadcast Digital Award for Best Scripted Online Short.[8] Jones performed his comedy act on British television for the first time in Live from the BBC, which was broadcast on BBC Two in March 2016.[9]

In 2016 he was nominated for "breakthrough act" and "music and variety award" in the Chortle Awards.[10] However, these categories were won by Joseph Morpurgo and Pippa Evans, respectively.[11]

Jones plays Shakespearean actor William Kempe in the sitcom Upstart Crow, which was broadcast on BBC Two beginning in May 2016. Jones plays the character as a parody of Ricky Gervais using his manner and speech patterns.[12] He was asked to play the character this way to draw a comparison between Kempe, a popular comic actor of the 16th century, and Gervais in the present day;[13] according to the show's producer Gareth Edwards, "what we tried to show was that every era has its own maverick comedy guy who's slightly ahead of his time and is following the beat of a slightly different drum".[12]

In 2016, he again performed his Fringe show in character as The Herbert in a new show called Eggy Bagel, at The Hive.[15] Then, in 2017, he was one of a record nine nominees for the 2017 Edinburgh Comedy Award[16] for his show The Audition at the Monkey Barrel comedy club. The final award was shared by Hannah Gadsby and John Robins.

Jones's other television credits include Still Open All Hours,[17] Skins, Pulling, Count Arthur Strong,[18] and Hollyoaks Later.[19]
