Who Jazz Emu is
Jazz Emu is the musical comedy character of the comedian and musician Archie Henderson, a self-styled electrofolktronica star whose songs and videos have drawn hundreds of millions of views and streams. Under his own name, Henderson shared second place at the Musical Comedy Awards in 2018, won the IYAF Best of Brighton Fringe Comedy award the same year and brought his debut hour, Archie Henderson: Jazz Emu, to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019.
Since then Jazz Emu has won two Chortle Awards, played sell-out runs in London, toured the United States, headlined the Musical Comedy Awards final at London's Bloomsbury Theatre in April 2025 and appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and The Telegraph placed him 26th among the funniest comedians of the 21st century.
