Jake Cornford is a Welsh stand up comedian and writer born and bred in Cardiff. Having moved to London to cut his teeth on the comedy circuit, here is where he really honed his craft. Jake then returned several years later to his homeland. He’s one of the good guys. A charming and engaging observational comic with a contagious energy. Managing to be irreverent but somehow relatable, it is clear watching Jake on stage that he loves every second.
