Jackie Skinner is a silly bitch based in Los Angeles. You can catch her performing her material at venues all over LA, including PDA Space in Altadena. She produces a weekly work-in-progress night for LA clowns, while she works on her own goddang stuff. The dream is to find brand-spankin new ways to make an audience feel something. She dislikes cookie cutter comedy.
She’s workin’ on a lil clowning-adjacent show…it doesn’t have a title, yet. It’s going to take awhile.
During her time in NYC, she performed at the Magnet Theater every Wednesday night with her improv team Behemoth and every Friday night with her weekend sketch team: The Executives. She’s performed her solo character show, Lies We Tell Ourselves, at UCB Hell’s Kitchen, PIT Solocom, Improv Boston, Chicago Sketchfest, and Austin Sketchfest. She has been studying improv since Fall 2014 at the Hideout and Institution theaters in Austin, Second City in Chicago, and Magnet in NYC. Having also studied sketch comedy at Second City, she has written and performed sketch at NYC's UCB, Magnet, PIT, BCC, and Reckless theaters.
In addition to clown and un-labeled, comedic performances, Jackie can be seen standing-up doing comedy around LA. She's performed shows and festivals all over the US, including the Boston Comedy Arts Festival, iO Chicago’s Comedy Festival, Seattle’s Highlarious Comedy Festival, Indianapolis Comedy Festival, and Funniest Person in Austin.
Jackie began amateur singing and dancing in 1994 alongside her sister, Catherine, performing self-choreographed routines in the Skinner-family kitchen during dinnertime.
Comedic Resume Note from Jackie: “this is old, i’ve done way more cool stuff since this thing. give me a second to update this.”
