Special Guest: Jill Kimmel
This divorced mother of two has always had an appreciation for performing and making people laugh, but didn't discover her true calling of stand-up comedy until July of 2006. Since then, she's worked with Tom Papa, Greg Fitzsimmons, Jim Norton, Jeffrey Ross, Tig Notaro and many other great comedians at Stand-Up Live, the Improv clubs, The Laugh Factory, Catch A Rising Star and several other respected venues around the country.
Featured at the 2018 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal for the LOL Network, and last fall on Comedy Central's, "Kevin Hart: Hart of the City", Jill also has a bi-weekly video segment on Facebook, called "What A Mouth', where she comedically explores the topics everyone can relate to, like attending a bachelorette party or bringing Starbucks for the entire office.
Known for her extensive performances at charity and fundraising events, Jill was personally asked to emcee a fundraiser by world-renowned musician Nils Lofgren, who also performed at the event. She has also been a favorite at the yearly comedy events held by The Jack Morton Foundation, an Arizona-based group that raises money to fund pediatric cancer research, as well as events for various animal rescue organizations, including Lost Our Home, AZ Small Dog Rescue, and Home Fur Good.
Jill has been part of several groups of very funny comedians who were selected by Armed Forces Entertainment to perform for the U.S. military. Since the spring of 2013, Jill has traveled to bases in Germany, Belgium, England, Italy, Turkey, Kosovo, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Egypt and Jordan. She performed on her fifth tour this past December, spending Christmas and New Year's Eve with our American troops overseas.
