Emily Jane Jacob
Actress Comedian Writer
About Me
I am an actress, comedian, and writer currently performing in Los Angeles. Born and raised in Boston, MA, trained in Chicago, and now LA living. Also yes, I do exclusively drink Dunkin Donuts coffee.
Training
I received my BFA in acting from Chicago College of the Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. I studied improv at iO (Improv Olympics) where I also took various television writing classes. While in Chicago I performed with an improv group ‘Teddy’s Friends’ at Second City, iO, The Annoyance, and various other Chicago theaters.
Born to Perform
I just got back from opening for Guy Reuven on his Chicago tour date at The Den theater. I regularly perform stand up around LA, at various theaters including The Comedy Store and The Icehouse. When I’m not performing, I‘m working on ‘Restaurant: The Musical’ my self written musical. As far as film, I am currently in post for a short film ‘Retrograde’ in which I portray a gen-Z stoner facing existential doom. Recently, I finished ‘Juul’s final goodbye’: a self written and directed piece that explores the toxic relationship between humans and their vapes.
