Called "Brave and Bawdy" by Time Out Chicago, Jessica Halem was raised by hippie Jewish artists from the East Coast which was anything but normal -- or easy -- in small-town Ohio, but did help to foster this very funny "on-your-face" comic who puts her queer spin on everything from Sudafed to Feminism to Glory Holes.
Jessica Halem was trained at Sarah Lawrence College and earned her chops as a social justice activist working for Bella Abzug; as a writer working for failed Internet start-ups; and as a LGBT health and non-profit expert running the Lesbian Community Cancer Project.
Jessica Halem performs at every college, Pride, and bathhouse where she can help find the funny in even the toughest of times: www.jessicahalem.com
