Jennifer Blaine has been performing one-woman shows for
25 years. Her original writing, performing, and comedy delve into
serious and socially relevant issues and provides audiences the
opportunity to unite in laughter. Jennifer has opened for George
Carlin, and performed with Chris Rock and Joe Piscopo. She
has worked with iconic actors such as Glenda Jackson, Laura Linney,
Joanne Woodward, and Paul Newman. She was featured on ABC’s

Philadelphia Daily News “not even Sybil can compete with
Blaine’s cast of characters. Her comic genius is like Lily Tomlin
and Tracey Ullman.”
