I will have zero trouble standing out with these wonderful new headshots from @miranda_shoots_photos ! The session with Miranda was just as fun as it was chilled! I can’t recommend her enough 😁😁
I updated my username so thought I should make a TV intro to celebrate that.
The Jack Gregson Show is filmed in front of a disinterested audience.

Live from London, it’s Saturday Night!! While we’re on hiatus @thejackgregsonshow and past & future guest @grace_o_keefe took a trip to BBC Studios for a taping of @snluk . Needless to say uproarious laughter was had throughout. Jack nearly died during the final sketch, while Grace may never recover from the whole thing! @aimeelouwood romcom with soundtrack by @mustbemeek when?

Jack and Nora are joined by theatre content creator @tabinthecity to discuss (spoiler-free!) what’s going on in the world of romcoms.
In this episode, Nora competes for how many f-bombs she can drop in 36 minutes, Jack is replacing Nora with Fearne Cotton, and Tabitha loves any film with Glen Powell and/or a talking dog. Head to your local cinema, grab some popcorn, and let’s celebrate the revival of the romcom!
Topics include:
- Robert Pattinson’s long-awaited comedy era
- The irresistible charm of Halle Bailey (+ @niavardalos as the fairy godmother of Mediterranean romcoms)
- Upcoming cinema releases of romcoms (and romcom-adjacent films), including: Finding Emily (2026), One Night Only (2026), The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026), and the 25th anniversary re-releases of Bridget Jones’ Diary (2001) and Legally Blonde (2001)
Mysteries we still haven’t solved:
- Which film will be crowned the best romcom of 2026?
- Where can we get the food in You, Me & Tuscany?

Jack and Nora are joined by actor and founder of The 98% @alexa_morden to discuss no. 15 on Vanity Fair’s list of the 42 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time: Sleepless in Seattle.
In this episode, Nora hates people watching her eat, Jack and unnecessary acronyms are “MFEO”, and Alexa is woo-woo enough to believe in fate. Crank up the radio, head to Empire State Building, and let’s be in love (in a movie)!
Topics include:
- Watching 90s romcoms through a contemporary lens
- How Jack and Nora became friends via mild stalking
- Romcoms where the main couple spend almost no time together
Mysteries we still haven’t solved:
