Phillip Christopher Jupitus (/ˈpɪtəs/, Swan; born 25 June 1962) is an English actor, performance poet, cartoonist, podcaster and retired stand-up and improv comedian. Jupitus was a team captain on all but one BBC Two-broadcast episode of music quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks from its inception in 1996 until 2015, and also appeared regularly as a guest on several other panel shows, including QI and BBC Radio 4's I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
