QUICK PRESS QUOTES |
|
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 14 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.

| |
| 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.
