Comedy. I do comedy. I’ve done it forever and it’s swell. I love it. I’ve been on NBC, VH1, and A&E (Comedy on the Road - back in the 1700’s). A couple years back I toured Australia for 10 weeks for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and ABC Australia said, "the gem of the night was Jackie Kashian. Her droll, perceptive description of her family was hilarious." and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. You listening Australia?
My Half Hour Special on Comedy Central was exciting. A link to a clip of it is below. Or go to my website.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote, "Jackie Kashian’s comedy is that rare, wonderful combination: smart and funny." I enjoy video games, go-carts and other traditionally tiny-child activities in an ongoing attempt to block out reality. My Website, reflects this. NOTE: Feel free to write to CC and ask em for more Jackie; or less as the whim strikes you:HERE

I have two CDs, "Cake Is Not My Downfall" which I did all by myself! In a sweatshop of ONE. And sounds like it. OH... you can hear the JOKES... it’s like a REDD FOXX album from ’69 - awesome. My second CD, "Circus People" was produced by professionals and sounds much, well, smoother. But I have nostalgia for those halcyon days of making the first CD on my computer. Labelling it myself (oh - those days aren’t done. It can still be yours.

Good rock and hip hop and old ballads and big band. I dunno.
Movies
I have cable now... you know what that means? Productivity DOWN - I watched the Banger Sisters.
Television
Books
too many: Kage Baker is making me laugh right now. Some comic books that are cool. Y the Last Man, Ex Machina. And I'm in craptastic re-read mode now. If you went to Junior High School with me, you know of what I speak.
Heroes
Voters. Volunteers. People who give a shit. Thomas Jefferson, the theory. The man was flawed, we're told via TV movies... (I guess I just referred to slave-owning as a "flaw." jebus). Jesus, the man. Not the Godhead that assholes have claimed to justify their insanity.
Comics who aren't into shock jock shit. One more fisting comment as a punchline and I might vomit. And then fist someone. And then use it as a punchline.
I am interested in whatever dorky thing you want to talk about. Guests speak to their love of books, TV, Movies, Comic books, websites, food, wrestling, cars, action figures and bees. There is room for all in The Dork Forest.
Who I'd like to meet: Scott Bakula. So that I can ask him if he knows his name rhymes with Butt Crackula.
