"As the fun-loving commitment-phobe Jamma, Rizwan channels the archetypal man-child vlogger. Puppyish and relatable, he wears his insecurities on his sleeve, and his attempts to conform to the expectations of adulthood are inevitably thwarted. But he is also a figure of more outre fun. With a severe bowl-cut and a penchant for retina-searing fashion, Jamma is overtly ridiculous: a master of slapstick and a magnet for chaos."
"Now having been fired from the job and broken up with Guy he's crashing with his friend Winnie and working as a clown in a care home. Jamma seems fine with his new gig and more interested in sleeping around than patching things up with lovelorn Guy. But after their paths cross again, he becomes determined to win him back."
"Jamma and Guy's will-they-won't-they? forms the backbone of this second series. The pair's differences are myriad: Guy buys 31 hand-soap and decants his cereal into containers, activities Jamma finds borderline offensive. He, meanwhile, is a walking disaster zone, unable to take on even the most basic responsibility. Ultimately, Jamma realises it is he who must change, and does so with the help of a cloaked magician (the inimitable Kevin Eldon) who wants to buy his soul."
Mawaan Rizwan transitioned from YouTube to training at Ecole Philippe Gaulier and channels both influences in Juice. He plays Jamma, a fun-loving commitment-phobe who combines man-child vlogger traits with outré clownishness and slapstick. In series two Jamma is fired, broken up with Guy, living with friend Winnie and working as a care-home clown while pursuing casual flings. His rekindled path with therapist boyfriend Guy provides a romcom backbone, contrasting Guy's tidy habits with Jamma's chaos. Jamma ultimately recognises he must change and accepts help from a cloaked magician who seeks to buy his soul.
