Jessica Kirson is a powerhouse on stage. Her countless comedic character videos have racked up over 30 million views on social media. Her audience is multigenerational, creating an excuse for large groups of friends and families to spend a night out together. In an era where only 10% of all touring comedians are female, Jessica stands out as one of the strongest comedians regardless of gender. As her friend Dave Attell says, “I’d hate to follow her.”
Jessica produced FX’s Hysterical, a documentary that explores the changing landscape of women in stand-up comedy and features Margaret Cho, Chelsea Handler, Fortune Feimster, and other notable comedians. Her one-hour special Talking to Myself was produced by Bill Burr and debuted on Comedy Central. She has appeared on The Tonight Show, The View, and Kevin Can Wait. Last year, Jessica was featured playing herself on the HBO series Crashing. She also recently acted in and served as a consultant, producer, and writer on the Robert De Niro film The Comedian. Jessica’s highly anticipated prank call album, The Call Girls was released on September 24th. The Call Girls was produced by Jim Serpico, Virtual Comedy Network. Jessica’s characters are coming to life in her new podcast, Disgusting Hawk, presented by GaS Digital. Through her Relatively Sane podcast, Jessica has interviewed the likes of Bill Burr, Jim Gaffigan, and Rosie O’Donnell. She was recently awarded “Best Female Comic” by the MAC association in New York City and received the prestigious Nightlife Award for “Best Stand-up Comedian.”
