Background
Jordan Beresford has been noticeably present in the North East Comedy scene since Early 2007, performing at various venues within the North Tyneside area. He recently turned his hand to politics where he founded and represents his own political party known as the I Wanta Muffin Party

Comedy style
Jordan has cited the likes of, Joan Rivers, Bob Monkhouse and Bruce Forsyth as some of his many influences. His particular style of comedy is alternative and art house comedy. Beresford can perform a 2 hour long set in which he will only say one line jokes which are nonsensical and baffle the audience in to submission and fits of laughter. His witty one liners and his peculiar sayings are the backbone of his act and without these he was quoted to say ‘I would only be a pile of turnips on the stage’.

Beresford often encourages his audience to heckle him in an attempt to fuel his act with a witty retort. In an infamous incident whilst performing at the Hyena Café in Newcastle Upon Tyne, an audience member commented on his appearance, stating that he has the stature of a Wookie and the facial features of Postman Pat. Infuriated by these comments Mr Beresford left the stage in a flood of tears and has refused to enter the establishment since.

Politics
During the early part of 2008 Jordan decided he would like to run for a seat in parliament and founded his own political party in the North Tyneside area. His main focuses are the impact that alcohol has on the local area’s of North Shields and Whitley Bay, If elected Mr Beresford has indicated he would like to outlaw the sale, consumption and medical use of alcohol within the North Tyneside area. Being a very religious man Mr Beresford has repeatedly stated that alcohol is ‘The Devils Syrup’.
