About Jake Baker
Jake Baker's The Gentle Men's Club is a stand-up hour that asks whether there is another way to be a man. With alpha dogs and macho maniacs dominating the cultural conversation, Baker explores a more gentle approach to being a chap — examining whether feminism can work for men, and making a strong case for the sit-down wee. Baker is described as a recipient of the Fringe Monkey Talent Award and brings thoughtful, endearingly offbeat comedy to questions most male comics sidestep.
Why see this show?
Thoughtful stand-up about masculinity that doesn't preach — just quietly and funnily unpicks what it might mean to be a gentler sort of man. Baker earns his laughs with clever writing rather than volume.
