Archie Henderson is an award-winning writer, actor, musician, and creator of viral comedy character Jazz Emu, whose videos and songs have garnered over 50 million streams. He was named as the 26th out of 50 funniest comedians of the 21st Century by The Telegraph. His musical character comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022 (Jazz Emu: You Shouldn’t Have), was included on The Telegraph’s “Top Shows To See At The Edinburgh Fringe”, and the British Comedy Guide’s “Best Reviewed Shows At The Edinburgh Fringe”. In late 2022, he took the show to the main stage of London’s Soho Theatre for a week’s sell-out run, receiving stellar reviews. In Chortle's 2023 Awards, Archie won in two categories - 'Best Variety or Character Act' and the 'Social Media Award'. Since 2019, he has been building a cult following with songs and sketches from his awkwardly-smooth comedy character Jazz Emu, resulting in plays on BBC RADIO 1, multiple performances on BBC RADIO 4’s THE NOW SHOW as well as on Cats Does Countdown on Channel 4 .
Archie Henderson is guest number 420 on My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
