On occassion he overwrites, with some passages struggling to lift off the paper and onto the stage. But his more polished routines, including a hilarious finale that is funny due to his concise setting of the scene and a carefully planned build up to a joke that only works because of what preceded it, flow off the tongue with crisp precision.
Jupp is the host of Newsjack http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsjack, a largely improvised, satirical, radio sketch show by the BBC. Jupp's dulcet tones are perfect for UK radio, but do seem a little funny in Auckland. His comedy is so hard-wired into the guilty conscience of a Britain that always struggles with class issues that it takes on a strange hue on foreign shores. Like a Middle Eastern reporter delivering his live cross in Polish. Jupp deals with this quite cleverly - swapping Leicester for Hamilton and comparing New Zealand's concept of Nandos to the UK's.
At the beginning of his show, Jupp takes a crack at Irish comics.
"I wish I had an Irish accent... so I didn't have to write any material."
This is Jupp in a nutshell - he hasn't taken the easy route to comedy success but the quality of his writing has got him pretty far.
