| Oh and yes, the material is true. A caricature; her father likes to point out. She is the youngest of six children and was raised by wolves. Wolves that meant well and did their best.

BIO SHORT VERSION |
| Jackie Kashian's comedy is like listening to a really racy episode of All Things Considered. She is comic, writer, and occasional actor... she just did her first late night set on the Conan O’Brien show, has a half hour special on Comedy Central and has recorded an episode of This American Life with Ira Glass, Her latest CD, "It Is Never Going To Be Bread" was one of the top ten comedy albums of the year on Amazon. She hosts a weekly cult fave podcast called "The Dork Forest" where she creates a safe space for people to admit that thing they dork out about more than anyone.
|
| QUICK PRESS QUOTES |
|
"11 Comedians to See Live in 2012" - crave.com: "Jackie is probably best described as a comic with a sardonic delivery matched with a geeky interior and surprisingly chill exterior. That's perhaps the greatest thing about Jackie, her very real, very personal delivery, and very human thoughts on what she's expounding, coupled with a voice that just barely betrays the fact that she's just a little smarter than everyone listening."
|
|
Minnesota Daily: "In (a) world ridden with podcasts...The Dork Forest is a Diamond"
|
|
The LA Weekly: "Jackie Kashian is like the comic next door - if the comic next door is prone to acutely hilarious family stories" (her podcast - The Dork Forest is) "dependably entertaining."
|
|
ABC Australia: "The gem of the night was Jackie Kashian. Her droll, perceptive description of her family was hilarious."
|
|
Minneapolis Star Tribune: "[her comedy] is that rare, wonderful combination: smart and funny."
|
|
And from Perth's newspaper: The West Australian, called her "whipsmart." |
| OTHER JACKIE KASHIAN FACTS |
|
Jackie's First Time: In 1985, Jackie got drunk and heckled Sam Kinison in Madison, Wisconsin. She was told, by management, that open mike night was on Sundays. Just three weeks later she did open mike. Proof that that was not a black out drunk night.
|
|
Jackie on the Road: She's been touring about 17 years. Jackie now makes her home in LA and works the road about 25 weeks a year. This seems to be a good balance of crime and sanity.
