    Artspod Interview with Jordan Brookes

    January 2025


    We caught up with Jordan Brookes as he prepares for his new show Fontanelle, Definitely A Musical. Stand-up comedian and writer Jordan Brookes has stepped out of his comfort zone and into musicals, by his own confession he is not the best singer! But Fontanelle is a comedic exploration of tragedy and why are we obsessed with turning everything into a musical.

    The world is obsessed with turning everything into entertainment, finding new stories to tell in a feverish desire to ensure every moment in human history has been thrown onto the bonfire of spectacle.

    A full-blown (sort of) musical spectacular featuring a star-studded (sort of) cast from the Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner.
