Jack Holmes

Welcome to all the new people who followed me over the last few days. I'm a comedian, but I'm truly awful with social media, so here's a picture of my pet lizard in an Easter hat, hopefully that makes up for something.

Made it back to Europe, just to be welcomed to snow in Frankfurt. Huge thanks to / for having me, and for being a genuine joy to watch every night, as well as the looooong list of other amazing comedians I met. Canada, you're fun but this whole weather thing is a step too far.

I had the pleasure of filming a set for the wonderful Red Mic Comedy last November, if you find yourself at a lose end, please be kind enough to check it out.

Check it out! I wrote an article for the latest issue of about how what I learned in the DIY punk world helped me establish a career as an independent touring comedian. I think it's pretty damn funny and interesting even if you aren't from the comedy/punk world.

You can pre order it here for a laughably cheap €4.50, or message me about getting a copy within Austria!

There's some great and hilarious articles from friends like and and loads of funny and insightful articles about DIY in general.

I'm performing at this year with some of my favourite dweebs from this neck of the woods. Normally you'd have to force me into a festival at g*npoint, but the line up is actually pretty sick and I'm praying my back can last 3 days camping.

For the last time!! Vienna, I'll be running my latest show, Round Man, Square Hole for the last time this May
It's been a real fun and interesting experience touring a show this personal, but it's time to lay it to rest and start again with something new. Originally I was going to record this for an album, but I've decided against that, so this will for real be the last time to check the show out.

Early bird tickets are on sale now for a limited time.

I'm proud of this show. It's good. Please come! Tix in bio

Comedy, cocktails & sunshine!!

I'm really stoked to announce that I'm going to be bringing a brand new show to the famous .vienna starting this coming Thursday!

Start the night at 7pm with happy hour drinks. Then at 8pm kick back and get ready to laugh with a full, pro level English comedy show featuring some of the best comedians in Europe!

Then after the show, we'll head up to Radisson Red's breath taking roof top bar for post show drinks as the sun sets over Vienna. The perfect night out is ready and waiting for you.

Good news comes by every so often. I'll be opening for David Cross next week at Theater Akzent in Vienna. I just looked and tickets are super low, so if you wanna come, don't sleep on picking them up!

Analco, Puebla. Where positioning is everything and immaturity runs wild and free!

I'm doing one last headline show in Mexico City tonight with some great local comics in a TINYA ass venue, so CDMX friends, if you wanna come, head there early.

Mexico has been rad as expected, in pic 3 I got to check out one of the new wonders of the world, aswell as this cool Mayan pyramid. My wife also got to meet her spirit animal in the streets of CDMX and for good measure, there's a picture of a turtle that I spent about 45 min watching in the window of an aquarium.

Are you enjoying this riveting new approach to social media I've been trying to engage in?

With dead and gone, I have one less thing to post about here instead of my career. At this rate, I'll actually end up letting you all know when I'm performing in your city.

Pic 1 is me being a dork in Ajax, the town they grew up in. The city renamed the street that they went to school on to Sum 41 way. I took a 3 hour detour to go track this down, and nearly got a frost bite on my fingers trying to take the photo.

Pic 2 is the dorky tattoo I got at
which is a rad studio in Toronto. Honestly, the biggest surprise about walking away from Canada with a sum 41 tattoo is that I didn't get one 16 years ago when I turned 18. I'm not a football fan, but I'll go wt a Newcastle tattoo if you convince Dusenberg to give me a discount on one of your signature guitars!

Pic number 3 is context for the tattoo, it's the back drop they had on the final tour.

I'm going to be back in Europe at the end of February and I'm jumping straight back into shows.

Feb 23: Regensburg
Feb 24: Linz @
Feb 26: Graz @

Tickets in bio!

Early bird tickets for Graz have already sold out and I didn't even post about it yet. The Regensburg show is a reschedule from last year so if you had tickets for that, they're still valid!

That's it for now. I'm still in Mexico and I'm off to eat my weight in vegan tacos and flautas.

I said goodbye to a real significant part of my life last night. Sum 41's music set me down a path that has taken me all over the world, doing the dumbest things I could to get there.

It was never cool to like them, so I'm really glad that my last time seeing them was spent with other dorks who care about them as much as I do. We swapped stretching techniques that can be done in a mosh pit, and compared stories of seeing them and our fan tattoos (ahem, follow up on that soon) like the worlds nerdiest war vets.

called us virgins, which really made me laugh.

I'm glad I saw them as many times as I did. I'm glad I travelled as far as I did all those times they weren't playing Vienna or Bristol. I'm really glad I got to see their last show in Toronto.
