Jake Mace

Our Editor-in-Chief. Edinburgh-based Jake is especially interested in all things political and historical. On top of this, he's keen on seeing more new writing, student theatre and farcical comedies. His favourite drink is an IPA - no hops held back. Festivals: Edinburgh Fringe (2018-2019, 2021-2022), Brighton Fringe (2019), Paris Fringe (2020)
