The Hit Pieces On Count Binface Have Begun – Here’s The Man Behind The Mask

ByMF Jones

This may come as a shock to some people, but Count Binface isn’t actually a bin – he’s a comedian, scriptwriter, and comedy producer from Lewisham, south London, portraying an intergalactic space warrior.

A bunch of outlets and accounts on X are now running attempted hit-pieces on the Count, revealing that the man under the mask is Jonathan David Harvey, and trying to make out that he isn’t just some harmless comedian, but rather, an establishment puppet sent to try to undermine the aspirations of people who vote for right wing candidates or parties.

A comedian somehow more “establishment” than Nigel Farage? Lol – too funny.

Here’s everything you need to know about Jon Harvey AKA Count Binface:

  • Graduated with a history degree from the University of Cambridge, which is where he got involved in the comedy scene.
  • Massive Star Wars fan (go figure).
  • Has written, produced and appeared in TV shows/radio shows/podcasts across broadcasters and production companies.
  • History of anti-Brexit and anti-Trump posts on X going back 10 years.
  • First went viral during the 2017 general election under the persona Lord Buckethead, standing against then-Prime Minister Theresa May.
  • Forced to drop the Lord Buckethead persona after American filmmaker Todd Durham – who created the original character for 1984 sci-fi movie Hyperspace – asserted ownership rights.
  • Rebranded himself as Count Binface, contesting the Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat in 2019 (Vs Boris Johnson) and Richmond and Northallerton in 2024 (Vs Rishi Sunak).

And that’s really all that’s relevant about the guy. Oh, and his manifesto for the Clacton MP gig – of course:

I mean, is it any wonder Farage and co are quaking in their boots at the prospect of Count Binface beating the Reform leader to the Clacton seat? There’s no way anyone can compete with that manifesto. Of course they’re going to try and find as much dirt as they can on Binface because only a massive scandal can stop him at this point.

I’m half-joking, of course, but who knows? The British political landscape is so absurd that Count Binface becoming Clacton MP is not an impossibility at this point. We’ll have to see what actually happens if it becomes reality in August. A lot can change until then.
