With infectious energy and irresistible charm, Jill Twiss is a small-town girl that gets big time laughs.
A short time after turning down her admission to law school, Jill packed her bags and left her hometown of Custer, South Dakota, to take the New York City comedy scene by storm.
In her short time doing comedy, Jill has performed in venues ranging from the New York City subway to Madison Square Garden. Recently, she was a New York City finalist for Last Comic Standing season 5 and was a finalist in the Bud Light Ladies of Laughter competition.
