Jack is having fun living his best life, we all should be so happy. While he has a boyish face, he is an old and kind soul.
People gravitate towards strong personalities. I was pleased to see this Jack the Whipper entertaining, and he exuded positiveness in both the energy he brings to his body movements. Laughed so hard watching his reading of a most terrible fanfiction of the internet (on his KZread channel).
I was already a fan and then when Simon hit the buzzer I wanted to slap him! But then… hahaha that whole thing with your whip trick was so epic 😂😂😂 so entertaining!!!
I love hearing how other creative people deal with being different and not taking rejection of your work as personal rejection. I'm a professional artist, art director, graphic designer, and photographer. I embraced my awkward at a very young age. Jack, you are amazing!!!❤

Absolutely!!!
The algorithm brought me here because I liked the first Jaques ze Whipper short presented for my delectation about a week ago. Getting them pop up all the time now. I'm not into interview channels, tends to be artist, history, history bound sewing. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Intelligent conversation and none of the mutual ego stroking that too often passes as entertainment. Nice job. I'm going to watch more.
LOVE Jack......he's a Rock Star!
THIS WAS AWESOME!! Thank you for this interview. Jack's last point is such a good one! Stay weird, people 🤍
Love Jacque Ze Whipper! Fabulous performer! 💖 Whip it!
Loved this interview! Jack is great, and I love how down to earth and just calm and comforting this chat was 👏❤
Hi Jack. What a great interview to watch. I think it’s great to see (part of) the man behind the persona Jack the Whipper. Thank you for showing this side of you and giving an insight in how you managed to get where you are and be enjoying what you do. I genuinely enjoy following you on KZread and it would be great to see you on stage someday. That will be a challenge since I am from the Netherlands. 🇳🇱😄 Keep on rocking Jack, all the best for you, your wife and your awesome dad. Sending some positive vibes across the ocean! 🤙🏼
Such a positive young man 👍. I started watching your videos just a month or so ago. Such talent and love to hear more accordion and story telling. Your voice is perfect for audiobooks! And the whipping is a trip🥰!
Awesome podcast. It is very interesting to know other people's awkwardness. Boy did I learn a lot. It was interesting to learn more about a person being involved with a circus childhood and having to make his own identity out of that. Thank you Andy Vargo for your show!!!
Love you Jack!!! The shorts make me laugh and smile all the time. They’re infectious, fun, love love love! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for interviewing him Andy! Nice job!

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Much appreciated 🙏
Hi Andy! This was a great interview. Positivity brings out positivity. That's what Jack exudes, and we ALL need more of that. Have a great week!
He puts off such a cool persona, but in this interview, he comes off like an old man (in a good way. Like a calm soul). He's a good actor. Anyone else see Gambit??? Marvel? You listening???
Jack is so funny, talented and handsome!! He also seems so confident on and off stage. Surprising to hear that he felt so awkward during high school. I would have thought of him as super popular and athletic?! Interesting….. Love watching his KZread videos. Great interview. Thanks!
OMG Jack are you talking about Glenda Sully’s dark circles??!! I never thought I’d ever find a guy whipping was sexy af but here I am!! No offense to Mrs Whipper. Love you talent and congratulations on making it your full time gig!! @jacqueszwhipper
I wish i could be more like you - so not shy, engaging and totally fun. Delightful man
I enjoy watching him so much, especially since he seems to be enjoying himself so much. 😊
I love you Jacques! 🍬❤️😍🌞🥰
Jack is awesome
Thanks for airing your Ze Whipper act on KZread.... it brings other comic relief besides silly cat videos, which I do like but we need variety. I like that you are comfortable doing improve with your audiences... makes it absolutely genuine. 😎👍
Hi Jack!!! Nice interview!!! I saw you on you tube and then later saw you were on AGT! Enjoying your videos! Thanks for sharing!

Obligatory comment to make KZread happy.
I looked up King Richards Faire so I could go see your performance and then realized it’s far away from me lol - I’m in KY - hoping I can catch your online show coming up. Have fun!

I'm only 79 miles away and I still haven't been. Then again I drive for a living so I really have no desire to drive on my time off
Jack left his daily job to follow his dream!
