UPDATE: 8pm show on Friday at Comedy Bar is now SOLD OUT! 10pm still available.
We’re unbelievably excited to present LA’s own Jackie Kashian in her Toronto debut.
This is a show that we’ve been chasing for almost a year, but due to her extensive US touring schedule it took us a hell of a long time to get her up here.
On January 17th we’ll be recording a live episode of Jackie Kashian’s Dork Forest podcast at Nerd Nite Toronto. Jackie’s guests on the podcast will be none other than Sean Cullen & Debra DiGiovanni!
On Friday January 18th, Jackie will be performing 2 stand up shows at Comedy Bar (8pm & 10pm)
But who is Jackie Kashian? Jackie is one of those very special comics who manages to blend wickedly smart material while remaining accessible to the audience. She’s an outspoken opponent of bullshit in all it’s forms, but presents it with a remarkable kindness and warmth that radiates throughout the entire room.
Oh, and she’s also a huge nerd. You won’t want to miss it.
Don’t believe me? Here’s what Maria Bamford had to say about Jackie Kashian:
“Jackie Kashian is a master of storytelling and stand-up. I regularly have to follow her after she’s blown the roof off the place with her warmth, delightfully-building punchlines and hilarious goofiness.”
