Miles Jupp

Miles Jupp embodies a very British strain of comedy I find irresistible: erudite, dry, and quietly devastating. Edinburgh-educated and sharp, he moves effortlessly from the gentle whimsy of Balamory's Archie to the venom of The Thick of It and the warmth of Rev. That tonal range is rare; most comedians find one register and stay there. He thrives on panel shows precisely because his wit feels improvised yet considered. I appreciate performers who can be both the smartest person in the room and entirely unshowy about it. Jupp is exactly that, and he's far better than his understated profile suggests.
