I'm really excited to just allow my career to kind of go in the direction that feels right at any given time."įans will soon be able to catch Jamie in The Afterparty when it lands on Apple TV+ on 28 January 2022.

His life flashes before him in sketch form, the comic playing a lolloping child in a tight primary school uniform, an emotionally volatile best man organising a stag do, even a pensioner on his deathbed. In the opening scene, an adult Demetriou lies curled up in a ball, in utero. It’s that attempt to straddle both worlds that leaves Demetriou’s comedy feeling surprisingly watered down.
