Summary

Archie Henderson is an award-winning writer, actor, musician, and creator of viral comedy character Jazz Emu, whose videos and songs have garnered over 50 million streams. He was named as the 26th out of 50 funniest comedians of the 21st Century by The Telegraph. His musical character comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022 (Jazz Emu: You Shouldn’t Have), was included on The Telegraph’s “Top Shows To See At The Edinburgh Fringe”, and the British Comedy Guide’s “Best Reviewed Shows At The Edinburgh Fringe”. In late 2022, he took the show to the main stage of London’s Soho Theatre for a week’s sell-out run, receiving stellar reviews. In Chortle's 2023 Awards, Archie won in two categories - 'Best Variety or Character Act' and the 'Social Media Award'. Since 2019, he has been building a cult following with songs and sketches from his awkwardly-smooth comedy character Jazz Emu, resulting in plays on BBC RADIO 1, multiple performances on BBC RADIO 4’s THE NOW SHOW as well as on Cats Does Countdown on Channel 4 .

Archie Henderson is guest number 420 on My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to my time capsule.
0:17.6	My name is Mike Fenton-Stevens, and my time capsule, as it's always been, is the podcast where people tell me five things from their life that they wish they had in a time capsule.
0:27.6	I don't think I need to say much more, but if you've not listened to it before, I will tell you that they pick four things that they cherish and one thing they'd like to bury and forget.
0:36.3	My guest in this episode is the internationally
0:39.1	renowned stone cold hot shot with a proven track record of concocting unpretentious pseudo-commodological
0:45.2	proffering's jazz emu. Now jazz is an infamously international man and a seasoned traveler
0:51.6	who likes to take his time, as well as his oregano, parsley and various spices.
0:56.8	He speaks over 15 European languages because he finds the sound of them annoying, and speaking over them drowns them out.
1:04.4	Jazz Emu was born and raised in the UK, as I'm sure you know, but grew tired of the colder climes
1:10.5	and found his way to Miami,
1:12.4	Florida, where he now definitely lives, and which he knows a great deal about, because he really
1:18.8	does live there. In fact, Archie Henderson is an award-winning writer, actor, musician, and
1:25.1	creator of the viral comedy character, Jazz Emu, whose videos
1:29.5	and songs have garnered over 50 million streams. This year he was named number 26 of the 50
1:36.0	funniest comedians of the 21st century by Dominic Cavendish in The Telegraph. His musical character
1:42.3	comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022,
1:45.4	jazz emu you shouldn't have, was included in the Telegraph's top shows to see at the Edinburgh
1:50.3	Fringe, and the British Comedy Guides best reviewed shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. He took that show
1:56.1	to the main stage at the London Soho Theatre for a week's sellout run receiving stellar reviews. Archie has
2:02.2	been performing his new show, Night Fever, that's Night with a Silent K, at the Edinburgh Fringe,
2:07.9	and we'll be touring the show in 2025 all over the country. So if you don't know, that's no with
2:14.1	a silent K, Archie or his brilliant alter ego, Jazz Emu,
