Jed started out fronting top comedy showband “Scholar” as guitarist and vocalist. The band were very popular in U.K. clubland, and released the single “Bambino” which failed to reach the charts by about 1 million copies!
The band however made many successful tours of Germany for Her Majesty’s Forces and of Europe for the United States Airforce. When the band went their separate ways Jed moved into comedy, at first as a comedy guitar and vocalist and eventually becoming a stand up comic in his own right.
Jed is a comedy buff and a bit of a football anorak, and has an extensive collection of comedy classics, the old stuff is still the best stuff.
In 2006 he won BBC 2 T.V.’s “The Weakest Link”, and left Anne Robinson speechless for once.
Jed and his wife Jackie raise money for The National Autistic Society through various events which included Jed competing in The Great North Run 2006, he also raised money for Cerebal Palsy Sports.
They have a young son Oscar, another football nut.
