Jessica Kirson

Jessica Kirson builds her comedy from vivid characters, sharp observations and a generous dose of vulnerability, shifting between distinct voices and comic perspectives with playful unpredictability. Her one-hour special, Talking to Myself, was executive produced by Bill Burr, and she produced FX’s documentary Hysterical, which explores women’s experiences in stand-up. Kirson has also appeared on The Tonight Show and HBO’s Crashing, and her character videos have drawn a wide online audience. The pleasure is in watching everyday absurdities become fully realized people, each with a voice and point of view of their own.
