Jessica Kirson

Kirson combines audience exchanges with physical character work and abrupt changes in perspective, including the private-sounding asides she delivers into the microphone. I’m the Man provides a fuller introduction than the clips that made her crowd work widely familiar. Her Working It Out conversation is also useful for understanding the difference between an onstage persona and the person behind it. Watch how she can turn her own reaction into the joke, giving the audience something to recognise even when the original answer is not remarkable.
