I'm a big fan of Jack Whitehall but it took a while for him to win me over. When I first saw him doing stand-up he hadn't really found his voice. Sometimes he was a little bit too wordy like Russell Brand, sometimes he was a little bit too deadpan like Stewart Lee. Neither persona seemed to suit him.
But then he started to embrace the fact that he was posh and privileged and everything clicked. As well as filling arenas, the former student who quit Manchester University to pursue a comedy career has graduated from TV roles in Fresh Meat and Bad Education to fun Hollywood comedies such as Jungle Cruise with The Rock.
