Comic Jessica Kirson has what it takes
New York comic Jessica Kirson has been tearing it up on stages across the country for just over a decade and appears to have the comedic chops needed for staying power in what’s become a crowded field. It doesn’t hurt that comedy seems to run in the family - her stepbrother, Zach Braff, is just part of a gregarious group that’s helped inspire many of the characters she brings to life during her act. Just before arriving in Chicago for an appearance on Pride weekend, Kirson took some time to speak with EDGE on the challenges of achieving success as an out in the comedy industry and why you’ve never seen a comic quite like her.
