Jackie has also appeared as a cast member of Bravo TV’s songwriting competition show “Platinum Hit” and as a semifinalist on “American Idol” Season Eight. Jackie’s latest project is the Netflix series G.L.O.W., inspired by the true story of the 1980s women’s wrestling league, now in production.

Jackie brings her signature comedic talent from the screen to the stage with her Saturday, Nov. 12 performance at TFAC. With a unique blend of stand up comedy and original singer/songwriter talent, Jackie’s performance “is pretty pop with a twitch; a paradox of vulnerability and arrogance, honesty and exaggeration, swagger and silliness.” (LA.com)
