Starring alongside a cast of other comedy names

Jack Skipper has joined the cast of Zak The Ripper, the upcoming British indie comedy to be shot in and around Brighton this September.

Jack joins an ensemble that includes comics Richard Herring, Tiff Stevenson and Sy Thomas, completing the principal cast ahead of production.

Zak The Ripper follows Zak Harris, a quiet and unremarkable man who unexpectedly finds himself at the centre of a media storm after becoming the prime suspect in a string of high-profile murders. As public paranoia grows and the bodies continue to pile up, Zak must uncover the truth before the whole world decides he's guilty.

The film is written and directed by Warren Dudley, who said: ‘We’re genuinely excited to have Jack join the project. I, like most comedy fans, have become aware of his work through his brilliant online presence. I’m never happier than when he pops up on my timeline! I can’t wait to bring his natural comic talent and timing to the big screen."

Dudley previously wrote the 2018 comedy film The Bromley Boys, about the supporters of a minor football club.
