Since 2006, the Fonejacker has been making people laugh through its groundbreaking approach to prank calls, and society’s obsession with call centers. Though a full series of its own did not appear in Britain until a year after its debut, the worldwide phenomenon continues to grow.

The program’s star and creator, Kayvan Novak portrays a host of characters, and places prank phone calls to unwitting members of the public; often at their place of work. The consequences are most often very funny, and frequently side-splittingly-tear-inducing!

The Fonejacker himself is somewhat of a failed terrorist in many ways; or at least that is how he is portrayed complete with “bobble hat”; a beanie with a pom-pom, and a pair of large aviator sunglasses.

This is an excellent parody in itself of course; but it is through the assumed roles that Novak really shines.

One character that has proved extremely popular is George Agdgdgwngo; an African “scamster”. Taking its inspiration from the many individuals and organizations based in Africa that try to defraud people, George never seems to get it right.

Trying to scam people out of their bank details, claiming he will wire their eighty pounds of winnings immediately, doesn’t quite cut it. Nor does his tales of a bird stuck in the bank vault do much to convince people to part with their account numbers. It is simply riotous as he fails, but remains so polite and apologetic.

In another witty parody of society today, the Indian call center worker is brilliant. Calling from a company known as “Internet Service Providings”, the young caller really hasn’t got much of a chance of getting new customers for his company.

Desperately trying to get people to upgrade their ‘internet service providings’ or ‘mobile phonings’ he is confident the deal he can do you is better. However, the prices offered are ridiculous and the worst you could ever wish to find. The whole call gets even better if people complain, and are put through to the manager. This really is priceless humor, snatches of which so many people will be familiar with.

There are more than twenty characters that Novak assumes the identity of; from mice that call vets for advice to kill a neighbor’s cat, prisoners in jail calling for a job, and elderly people calling for help with their computer. Each is superb, extremely well written and the Fonejacker will quite possibly have your sides hurting by the end of each show.
