Jason began his training in 1996 and graduated from Barnsley College with a Leeds University degree in theatre and has since worked in various sectors of the theatre industry ranging from lighting designer, stage manager, company stage manager to dancer – Jason worked as a 70’s and 80’s dancer at Jimmy’s in Harrogate, as a body popper for Kiss FM, and toured the UK and Far East as A.L.F.I. the robot. 

Jason’s ventures touring around Cornwall in the last few years include the Hope Springs Duo, Miracle’s offshoot cowboy piece of street theatre reliving the time when Buffalo Bill came to Cornwall with his wild west show.  He has also performed as Mr Henry Foot in Fleet of Foot’s production of Going Viking, commissioned by the National Maritime Museum Cornwall.
