About me:

Hi. My name is Jessica Delfino. A one woman variety show, I sing and play ribald raucous songs on (mostly) my guitar but I also rock out the flying V ukelele and rape whistle, autoharp, Q-chord, glockenspiel, tiny keyboard, and what have you. I also tell dirty jokes, make videos and short films, write sordid tales, draw drawings, tour and otherwise entertain the populous. But don't take my word for it -- come see for yourself just what I do.

Here's a video segment from "What Would Jesus Buy?" produced by "Super Size Me"'s Morgan Spurlock. WGN morning news show featured a brief clip of one of the songs I was hired to write in the caroling scene. The song they used here isn't one of my faves, I mean, it's no "Walmart You A Macy's Christmas (& A K-Mart New Year") but it's still pretty exciting!



I am returning to the UK for Summer 2009. Highlights of previous UK tours included Ireland's Bud Light Festival in Dublin's Iveagh Gardens, The Russell Brand Radio Show, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and The Soho Theater. This summer will include Latitude Festival, a return and upgrade to the Soho Theater's 140 seater (from the 88 seater) Cest Duckie, Edinburgh and Reading & Leeds.
