Luke Rollason

Luke Rollason is a British actor and physical comedian. He plays a lead role in the Disney+ series Extraordinary, as Jizzlord. Early life Rollason studied English at the University of Oxford where he was awarded the Mansfield Scholarship. Career Rollason attended clown school in France at the L'Ecole Philippe Gaulier. However, Rollason told the British Comedy Guide he favours the use of the term “physical comedian” for himself. After university Rollason moved to London and where he would perform his comedy with homemade props. He has said that when he was a student seeing the physical comedian Trygve Wakenshaw was “a revelation” as to what it was possible to try and do on stage. He has said the best advice Gaulier gave him was "We are always searching. When you find your style, that is a good day to die". At the 2022 Brighton Festival Rollason set up The Luke Rollason Memorial Bursary aiming to encourage performers from alternative backgrounds to bring unusual approaches to comedy. The bursary offers the cost of their registration fee, contributions to marketing costs and free rehearsal space. His 2022 show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival was called Bowerbird. He had previously performed it at the 2021 fringe as a work-in-progress. It was described as a “madcap potpourri of mime and existential angst”.
