For fans of Jeremy Piven, he’s instantly recognisable in a couple of roles. 

His portrayal of Ari Gold in Entourage propelled his career, winning Piven a Golden Globe and three consecutive Emmys, and he also starred in Mr Selfridge – the drama based on the life of Harry Selfridge.  

Despite the more serious roles he’s played over the last few years, Piven has a knack for stand up comedy, which is bringing him across the ocean to our corner of the world.  

He’s just finished up filming Past Lives in the UK, taking to the road to perform his standup. 

“It’s my job right now just to kind of run around and get up on stage, and interact with people and have a great time, and make people laugh,” he told Hosking. 

“Stand up comedy’s never been more popular, I think because of all the frustrations that we’re unpacking.”
