Join the cow-led rebellion against big tech— an animated sitcom where creativity fights back.
Jazz Cow is an animated Sitcom about a jazz-playing cow who reluctantly leads a group of artists, poets, and misfits in resisting Big Tech guru Dr. Popp, a paternalistic dictator, who is getting the world hooked on algorithms, junk food, AI, and fake filters for a safe, cleaner and more efficient world.
Behind the laughs lies an urgent question: Can we reclaim our humanity in a world ruled by technology?Take the path of least resistance —constant notifications, pings, texts, and snaps push you to be a version of yourself behind a fake filter. Surrender to the algorithm. Download the app.
Or stand with Jazz Cow and his band at Connie Snots—the holdouts who refuse to go quietly and aren’t backing down without a fight.
Dr Popp wants to get his hand on the artisanal bakers, street vendors, fringe theatre and second bookshops. He wants to monetise and franchise, and and get rid of the old guys playing chess in that tiny park. (Don’t they know there’s an app for that?)
This melting pot of misfits, musicians, poets, and free thinkers isn’t giving away their slice of town in a hurry. They look to their figurehead, cult hero, and the leader of the band: Jazz Cow. Think Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca.
A witty, laugh-out-loud comedy of clashing perspectives, bursting with compelling characters and a delightfully lively world — full of social insight and silly, unexpected twists.
The perfect length for sitcom storytelling: long enough to build a three-act structure with room for an A- and B-plot, but short enough to keep the comedy sharp and fast-paced. The format forces tight, efficient writing where every beat counts.
Animated sitcoms connect powerfully with adults 18–45—think The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, Family Guy. But while some lean into cynicism, Jazz Cow follows more in The Simpsons’ footsteps: sharp, surreal, and satirical, but ultimately big-hearted. For grown-ups, but family-friendly enough to watch together—it’s bold, funny, and joyful.

The Wire Magazine – “Robert Mitchell is one of Britain’s finest and most versatile pianist-composer-improvisers”
London-born singer Heidi Vogel began her career touring with Cirque du Soleil before making her mark in the jazz and soul scenes of London and LA, notably as lead singer for The Cinematic Orchestra. Over five years, she toured globally, performing across the globe, including sold-out shows at The Royal Albert Hall and an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Vogel headlined The Big Chill Festival UK in 2010 and supported Erykah Badu at Dubai’s Chill Out Festival in 2011. Her solo album Turn Up The Quiet offered interpretations of works by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joe Henderson, featuring collaborations with Josue Ferreira, Cleveland Watkiss, and Austin Peralta, and received critical acclaim.
Evening Standard - “When Heidi Vogel hits a note just right, her throat swells open to deliver a mighty, vibrato-rich note with a life of its own.”
