John Cruckshank, aka The Jonz, is a 40-year-old electrician from Mortdale, on the south side of Sydney. He's also a skateboarder and, at this point, a pretty well-known comedian. I first saw The Jonz perform in 2019, warming up the crowd before the premiere of Pass~Port's first full-length video, Kitsch, at the Sydney Opera House. He had the crowd in stitches and later graced the big screen with a guest trick and a celebratory champagne shower..
The Jonz has worked the mic on cruise ships, done the Melbourne and Sydney comedy festivals, performed at Splendour In The Grass twice and made a cult classic YouTube film, with his friend Luke Smith. has described him as “achingly funny” and “a genius”, and he was animated into a spinoff of When I called John
