Jessica Allen Eason

Jessica comes to NYC from Bogota, Colombia by way of (the best state ever) Massachusetts - GO PATS, SOX, CELTICS, BRUINS!  She has been improvising all over New York City since 1999.  Her first improv training was from Paul Sills at New Actors Workshop, and later with Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. Jessica is a proud member of the improv groups Ms. Jackson, JackieJessSue, and Neutrino, the creators of Neutrino: The Video Projects which took them to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the HBO Comedy Festival, and won them Ensemble of the Year award at the Chicago Improv Festival.  Jessica is currently performing at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in the sketch show "D-Bags, A-Holes & Lovers" which she co-wrote and co-stars in with her husband.  Time Out New York says, "Eason and Eason have great chemistry onstage; the D-bags may be new, but the sketch comedy is classic. This duo is definitely one to watch."  She has also studied at the New Actors Workshop with George Morrison & Mike Nichols, and T Schreiber Studios with Terry Schreiber.  Her dream roles are Mama Rose in "Gypsy" and Karen in Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight".  (because they're going to remake that movie right?  with everyone in the original except for J Lo....right?  RIGHT?!)
