He told the Glasgow Times: 'I couldn't have afforded it, there was no two ways about it, so I'd written it off.
'I feel like we need to keep fighting for Scottish representation.'
Calling the support 'amazing', he continued: 'Without Blackfriars and Brass Tacks, I wouldn't be doing it.
'Chris Conway has put his money where his mouth is in terms of supporting acts - there's nobody more supportive.'
(Image: Two Trolleys) Jack, from Cumbernauld, previously worked in a series of minimum wage jobs before he decided to 'give comedy a go' during lockdown, saying it had been 'scratching at the back of my head throughout my life'.
He said: 'I wasn't a massive fan of comedy, it was surface level, but as soon as I got into it, I was obsessed.'
Since starting his comedy career three years ago, Jack has been cutting his teeth as part of a collective called Wholesome Prison Blues who perform mixed bill shows for inmates at prisons across Scotland.
He has also taken part in the Roast Battles League and was awarded the Worldwide MVP title in 2024.
This isn't the first time Blackfriars and Brass Tacks have supported Jack, after they also funded a trip to Los Angeles May to compete in a Roast Battle at iconic venue The Comedy Store, giving him an opportunity to gain fans across the Atlantic.

Jack's Fringe show Before I Forget focuses on the theme of Dementia which he says has affected a lot of people in his family.
He explained: 'It's about all the things I'm happy and not happy that one day I'm going to forget.
'I take the audience through dealing with the family members that have had dementia and my experience.
'Usually when you go to a Fringe show they put the sad bit at the end, but I've flipped it.'
He added: 'We're two weeks out and I'm bricking it [...] but I've got good people around me.'
(Image: Two Trolleys) Chris Conway, co-owner Blackfriars, said: 'My take on the Fringe is its almost completely inaccessible to someone like Jack because you can't afford to not work for a month and put all the money in to be there for a month.
'I think there's a lot of talent that don't go to it now because of that.
'The Fringe a worldwide thing but there needs to more of a push for Scottish acts.
'Jack is an absolute fireball of energy and comedic talent.'
Katie Palmer, of Brass Tacks Comedy, continued: "Working with Blackfriars to support Jack Traynor is one of the things I'm most proud of in my career so far.
'Blackfriars as a comedy club are so values led and the way they stepped up to support Jack financially shows that.
'Jack is one of my favourite comics in the country.
'The very first time I saw him perform I knew I had to work with him in the future. And I've never been in the company of someone funnier.
'He's a true talent and it's terrifying to think that a local act as brilliant and talented as Jack wouldn't be performing at the Edinburgh Fringe without this support.'
Jack Traynor: Before I Forget will be at Pleasance Courtyard from Wednesday, July 30 until Sunday, August 24.

Around 328,000 people travelled with ScotRail on Friday August 8, when Liam and Noel Gallagher and their band took to the stage for the first of three sellout gigs at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. That total was up by almost a fifth (19%) compared with the same day last year. THANK YOU EDINBURGH 🏴#OasisLive25 — Oasis (@oasis) August 14, 2025 Meanwhile, a total of 327,000 travellers took to the rails on Saturday, with passenger numbers for that day 12% higher than the same date in 2024, up 12% on 2024.

Edinburgh festivals – our best reviews from the second week
Our reviewers have been busy out and about at the Fringe and the International Festival this week. And they have found some four (and five) star gems. All of our Festival coverage can be read over here. Ahir Shah: Work in Progress Ahir Shah has become an established Fringe performer. After a series of nominations, he finally won the main Comedy Award in 2023. On the back of his Fringe successes, he's become a regular media figure, featuring on BBC Radio 4 (Ahir Shah's 7 Blunders of the World) and also has had HBO and Netflix specials. This year Shah is performing a limited series of shows (14 -24), advertised as a work in progress but very much on course to becoming a fully realised show. Read more here. Orpheus and Eurydice Despite the richness of the English language, I think there are not enough superlatives to praise the creation of this rendition of Gluck's Orpheus and Eurydice. From the very opening where we see the superb funambulist as Eurydice descend twisting into the underworld hanging from a harness to the final dénouement, the staging was outstanding, the music perfection, the singing immensely moving, and the acrobatics stunning. Read more here Wellpark Wanderer It is often said that Scottish performers are hard to find in the Festival and Fringe. Writing in 1976, the historian Owen Dudley Edwards suggested that 'there is little of Edinburgh, and even less of Scotland in the Festival'. Many see the Festival and Fringe as something imposed from outside on the people of Edinburgh. Such narratives persist. It's also widely argued that working class voices are marginalised within the Fringe. Especially, in the sphere of comedy, the Fringe is often seen as London-centric and dominated by middle class voices and perspectives. There are, fortunately, exceptions.

Given up on Waiting For Godot? Never fear, you'll have a blast at Hingin' Oan Fir Googsie. Running for four more nights only, John McColl's new play at Braw Venues on George Street opened to much hearty laughter and rapturous applause from a largely local audience, an element of the warm reception no doubt down to the presence of Braveheart and River City legend Jimmy Chisholm, leading the cast as Ghillie. Read more here. Flamenco Guitar Odyssey If you're a bit worn out by all the noise and crowds of the festival city, why not take a break to visit Alba Flamenca on East Crosscauseway and enjoy some beautiful music? Philip Adie started life in Aberdeen, perhaps not somewhere we generally associate with flamenco, but for the past 25 years he has lived in mainland Europe, first studying under flamenco master Paco Pena in Rotterdam, then moving to Seville where he works as a flamenco guitarist. Now he's here in Edinburgh to share some tunes and tell us more about the origins and styles of this wonderful music. Read more here. Like this: Like Related

Mr Chonkers review – you never know what's going to happen next
With his show and persona Mr Chonkers, American clown John Norris scored a cult hit on the fringe three summers ago – and now a booking off comedy's beaten track, at anything-goes alt-theatre hub Summerhall. He'll fit in, because his is a show (seemingly the same one he performed in 2022) that marches to the beat of its own drum. The upside of that? You never know what's going to happen next. The downside: with little by way of theme, narrative or structure, there's not much left to hang on to when the laughs abate. A portion of the audience will be giggling too giddily for that to be an issue: Norris is the kind of act who, if he gets under your skin, doesn't get out again. After a dotty prologue as a faceless monk, he offers us a supposed showcase of his recently acquired performance talents – in poetry, comedy and theatre. With a Janus-faced manner that twins eagerness to please with disciplinarian tendencies, he then serves up a tenuous film star impersonation (that wraps up the comedy section), some verse (including a standout about 'horny wives in your area') and – the bulk of the show, this – a theatrical act-out of a Sicilian family drama. Frustrated he's not getting it right, Norris performs that scene over and again, in (not very) different ways. If you're barely amused by the arresting sight of him, in character as a little Italian boy, retreating his head into his neck, this looping scenario may test your patience. It did mine. There are strong stand-alone sections elsewhere: a none-more-clown sequence about his ever-shrinking headgear; a gestural dumbshow of the apologies we make in company when we're detained by a phone call. Strongest of all is Norris's existential angst as his gig collapses, leaving him exposed to the chill winds of post-show, pining to return to his imaginative world. Whither your self-esteem when you can't even get a performance with no rules right? I cherished this playful glimpse into the jester's abyss, delivered (like everything here) with a wonderful alertness to the moment, albeit in a show that may drive you to distraction as well as delight. At Summerhall, Edinburgh, until 24 August All our Edinburgh festival reviews
