04-16,17-2010 Jimmy Dore

Jimmy Dore is the star of several Comedy Central specials, a writer performer for the Off-Broadway hit The Marijuana-Logues, and the host of his own weekly radio show on KPFK Los Angeles. His latest effort Citizen Jimmy is the award winning one-hour Comedy Central Special that was chosen Best Of 2008 by iTunes, and was named one of the top 5 comedy dvds of the year by Punchline Magazine. Jimmy co-hosts the immensely popular podcast Comedy and Everything Else alongside Todd Glass and Stef Zamorano. It is Jimmy's everyman style and razor-sharp material that draws people in and has made him one of fastest rising stars in comedy today.

Born into a Catholic family of 12 on Chicago's south side, Jimmy's parents forced him into comedy at an early age. Jimmy began stand-up in Chicago but quickly moved to Los Angeles to see if he could get on T.V., and it worked. He was quickly cast on NBC's Friday Night! where he became a fan favorite and a show regular. That experience started a string of late night talk show performances including ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, NBC's Late Friday, and CBS's The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

No stranger to the international scene, Jimmy has been invited to perform at some of the most prestigious comedy Festivals around the world including The Melbourne Comedy Festival in Australia, The Montreal International Comedy Festival, and The Amsterdam Comedy Festival, where Jimmy performed high. Back in the states, he was singled out as one of the top five performers at The U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen Co, which thrilled Jimmy because he knew it would end up in his bio some day.

Jimmy continues to tour nationally and looks forward to his next special. When in Los Angeles Jimmy performs his acclaimed Pop & Politics, a monthly video/sketch/talk show @ the UCB Theater.
