We are very excited to announce that Dan Lees, talented comedy actor extraordinaire joins the Jackson Foster team.

Dan is a highly experienced actor, comedian and musician who trained at Ecole Phillipe Gaulier in Paris. His one man show ‘Brainchild’,  directed by Complicite’s Mick Barnfather, has toured internationally and received the Judges’ Award for Theatre at the London Mimetic Festival in 2014. 

This year Mad Etiquette, a theatre company, he co-founded with Neil Frost, won 2 awards at Adelaide fringe, one for best comedy for the show “The Establishment: Le Bureau De Strange” and another for best children’s show for “Captain Cauliflower and Marvin the Mischievous Moose”. 

Neil plays the role of Jukes the pirate in a fantastic new audio production of JM Barrie’s much loved classic ‘Peter Pan’ directed by Simon Barnard.

The production is for Great Ormond Street Hospital, celebrating 90 years since Barrie gifted the rights of Peter Pan to GOSH and will be released in December as a Christmas audio treat for families to enjoy.

We are delighted to announce that Daniel Ogunsalu has joined our lovely team at Jackson Foster.

Daniel is a London born actor with comedy bones and a particular talent with urban music. Most recently playing the role of Mr Charles in the forthcoming BBC mini series Small Axe, directed by Steve McQueen he is very excited to be broadening his horizons on screen at present.  

His early training with Daniel Kaluuya encouraged a positive outlook on life in his urban music and with DJing, stand up comedy, an early rapping stint as well as strong improvisation skills, Daniel brings a broad range of talents to the Jackson Foster team.

Matthew Bunn gives a dazzling and heart breaking performance of protagonist Rory in new show Fast Love at Theatre 503.

Fast Love follows Rory, a 28 year old cis-male gay/queer bartender, whose struggles with mental health are just bubbling to the surface. The play specifically surrounds mental health within the LGBTQ+ community, as Rory navigates London attempting to connect with his community through sex, Grindr and ‘pockets of intense human contact that act like anaesthetic.’

Mental health is a huge problem amongst queer young people, with over half of the LGBTQ+ population suffering from depression last year. LGBTQ+ people are 6 times more likely to attempt suicide than others. Rory’s story is important.
