Jesse Perez is a multi-award winning producer, writer and journalist who has had a fertile media career spanning 10 years, across a range of mediums.
With a healthy distaste for mediocrity and a fervent passion for the art of wicked humour, Jesse’s biting articles have lead him into a range of nasty, screaming head-butts with a number of prominent purveyors of media banality. (Names unpublishable for legal reasons - however, if you buy him enough drinks, he has a mouth like an open esbend.)
