Jackie Pirico is a fast-rising and highly coveted stand up comedian originally from Guelph, Ontario, and currently based in Toronto, Canada.
Jackie landed her first professional opportunity in her hometown at the Guelph Comedy Festival. Her first big break came in 2016 when she was called to do a network television taping for the largest International Comedy Festival in the world, Montreal’s Just For Laughs.
Since then, Jackie has had multiple television tapings under her belt. Her stand-up performances can be seen in Crave's JFL All Access, CTV's The Stand Up Show, and CTV's Roast Battles Canada among others. Most recently, she made her sitcom debut on the award-winning series Children Ruin Everything. Jackie has
released two stand-up albums: Dream Phone (2019) and Splash Pad (2022). Most recently, she received the prestigious 2023 JUNO Awards nomination for Best Comedy Album of the Year for Splash Pad.
On March 2nd, Jackie appeared as a guest on CBC's hit quiz show Because News with Gavin Crawford. Up next, she can also be seen in season three of CBC Gem's The New Wave of Stand Up. Coming soon, she will be launching her new podcast How Can We Help produced and hosted alongside prolific and cherished Canadian comedian Mark Little where listeners write in anonymously with their problems, and they do their best
to give them some good life advice. Jackie can also continue to be seen in her weekly show Laugh Sabbath at Comedy Bar.
Named by Exclaim! Magazine as a quick rising force in comedy and an “adept comic scene stealer” by The Hollywood Reporter, Jackie delights audiences with her oddball material and high-energy style.
