Jake Dewar, Comedian-Tragedian

Jake Dewar is an actor, comedian, playwright, singer-songwriter, and Jewish Scotsman, which more or less makes him a paranoid cheapskate.

Since the age of 17, Jake has recorded and produced his own sketch/musical comedy CDs and DVDs, continually aspiring to improve his acting, writing, and musicianship.

Dewar's sketch characters are as wide-ranging and varied as the musical styles he pays homage to in his songs (which are often dense with lyrics, rhythms, and harmonies). This combination of skills creates a theatrical style of humor that primarily entertains but also criticizes the culture and doesn't try to "dumb down."

Jake is a graduate of North Central College, where he received his B.A. in Theatre. He currently resides in the Chicago area, working on numerous theater, film, and comedy projects.
