Jacob Kuek

The Tree of Witlessness & Barry the Bear

Jacob (he/him) is an actor/singer/improviser based in Naarm. Most recently, he returned from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival making up musicals on the spot with Impromptunes. In the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Jacob played Nervous Noel in Antilton at Theatreworks, improvised musicals with Impromptunes, AND improvised pantomimes with Playhouse Pantomimes.

Outside of festival seasons, Jacob can be found improvising regularly as part of a house team at the Improv Conspiracy Theatre. Jacob is also very passionate about diversity, representation, and access in the arts. He is super excited to perform in the Teddy Bear’s Picnic with Melbourne Shakespeare!
