Jess Miller Is a Fresh, Unique, Insightful, Vibrant, Hilarious Voice In The World Of Comedy.

Using her own life as her bedrock, Jess has built an act that shows humor in every aspect of life. Her fresh and friendly presence on stage makes her appealing to audience members from every walk of life. Her quick wit, ability to connect with the crowd, and on-the-fly creativity enable her to manipulate her material from an “everyday girl” too brash and bawdy and back seemingly effortlessly. Her brand of comedy is a brilliant and fluid creation unto itself and it never fails to fill the seats wherever she appears.

Jess has the ability to get you going right out of the gate, and her take on life will bring you to tears – one way or another! Her style on stage is lovably hilarious and her skill at winning over her audience is magic.

Jess has performed at the Women in Comedy Festival, Boston Comedy Chicks, won the Ladies Room Comedy Festival, was a finalist at the Devil Cup Comedy Festival, Big Pine Comedy Festival, She-Devil Contest as has worked all over the country at clubs such as Caroline’s, Broadway Comedy Club, Crackers, Off-the-Hook, Funnybone, The Coming Strip, The Punchline, Laugh’s Unlimited, The Comedy Factory Hollywood and many more. She recently headlined The No Nuts Comedy Tour which toured the country.

Jess ran a wildly successful monthly show called The “OMG! It’s Only Wednesday?” Comedy Show at the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee, Mass before the venue permanently closed then turned the show into a pop-up comedy club to collect toys for foster kids.

Since diving into comedy, Jess has helped raise nearly $700,000 for non-profits, groups, and individuals with her Funny Raising Comedy Shows, including her Annual Toy Drive for Foster Kids and Art Kits for Foster Kids. She is the Head Giver (facilitator) of an anonymous group of individuals on a private Facebook group page called “The Kind Squad” whose mission is to perform small acts of kindness for people around their community and in the world.

Prior to winning The Ladies Room Comedy Festival in 2021, the only contest Jess had won was a karaoke contest against a 9-year-old in which she had to sing “My Life Will Go On.” While Jess considers herself a relatively humble person and a good sport, she admits it was challenging not to gloat in front of a 9-year-old, but managed to hold her jubilation in until she reached her car in the mall parking lot.
