Jake Howie: Cult Fiction at Laugh Outta Lockdown Festival

Jake knows a thing or two about cults - he was raised in Scientology.

“Seriously funny” - Newshub

Jake spent the first part of his life as a devout Scientologist, so he knows one thing for sure - we've all been in a cult. From searching for raunchy religion to pretending to like things that don't gel (like CrossFit and vag), he's an expert in morphing into what's expected. Rather than speak his mind, he's always just sat down, shut up and said what he was told to.

“Pure comedy gold” - Express.co.nz

Well, that's all about to change. Join Jake at a wedding reception as he travels through his life in cults by unearthing the realities of life as a baby Scientologist, showcasing the group-think of teen fandom and uncovering the culty behaviour of corporate culture he endured before finally believing, belonging and becoming the one thing he always wanted to be - himself.

“An engaging presence” - Chortle

“Jake is 10 comedians in one man” - Sara Pascoe
