Crushed by the death of Jack Knight. Watch Bust Down NOW. I was lucky enough to spend years writing with and for Jak and we recorded our sets on Netflix that night. Such a fucking funny, surprising, kind, weird, unique talent. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

I remember being on a show with Jack Knight when I was just starting out – I was so nervous and he was so encouraging and kind. I always remembered it. Think about your friends and family tonight.

RIP to Jack Knight. We recorded Netflix promos together years ago. He was an incredibly funny original voice in comedy and a great guy who will be sorely missed.

Whenever I was in a lineup with Jak Knight, I knew it was going to be a hell of a fun night. I’ve always loved watching it over the past decade. He won big, well deserved, so witty and memorable every moment on and off stage. A painful loss for comedy.
