About
Jackie Loeb is a comedian for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Stand-up that slides into song mid-bit is Jackie Loeb's trademark, and it won her the Australian Mo Award for Best Live Comedy Act. She was a cast member on the sketch series Full Frontal, voices a wise and worldly Australian rat on the Netflix animated series Trash Truck, and has played comedy festivals around the world. The Sydney Morning Herald named her one of the top five comics; the LA Times called her a must see. She performs solo, or with her keyboard accompanist for a bigger show of stand-up, musical numbers and parodies written for your event. And she MCs, tailoring the set to comedy clubs, corporate rooms and private functions alike.
Watch
The show
Stand-up, musical comedy, or the two knotted together, which is where she's most herself. Jackie shapes the set around who's in the room, so a comedy club night, a corporate function and a private party each get something different. Being a real musician is what separates her from most comics, and the way she moves between a joke and a song keeps a crowd with her the whole way through. Laughs are the point and they don't let up.
On the day
A professional sound system, a microphone and a mic stand. Lighting as well, if the room needs it.
Performance options
Two ways to book her. Solo, she does her own stand-up, sharp observations and stories that land because people recognise themselves in them, and being self-contained makes her easy to slot into a bill. The bigger option brings in her keyboard accompanist, which turns the show into a mix of stand-up, musical numbers and parodies written specifically for your event. That version suits festivals, gala dinners and themed nights where you want more of a production. She switches between the two formats comfortably, so the choice is really about the size of the occasion.
