Jessica Kirson is a dynamic force in comedy, celebrated for her high-energy performances, ridiculous characters, and self-deprecating vulnerability. With a career spanning over two decades, she has found an audience for her comedy on social media, where she has racked up over a billion views.

Jessica’s comedy journey began in the clubs of New York City, where her distinctive voice and unfiltered humor quickly made her an audience favorite. Kirson has since performed on some of the biggest stages in comedy, including multiple appearances on The Tonight Show, The View, HBO’s Crashing, and Kevin Can Wait. Jessica produced FX’s Hysterical, a feature-length documentary exploring the changing landscape of women in stand-up comedy, as well as serving as consultant, producer, and onscreen talent in Robert DeNiro’s “The Comedian”.

Known for years as a “Comic’s Comic,” Jessica’s career has exploded in recent years as her social media accounts topped 1M followers on multiple platforms and her tour dates began to fill up with sold-out theaters. In an era where only 10% of all touring comedians are female, Jessica stands out as one of the best comedians working today, regardless of gender.
