Jackie, Baby! is a one-woman solo-show set backstage in 1934 Hollywood, as talking pictures begin to replace vaudeville. Jackie, a once-celebrated star, prepares to return to the stage while reckoning with love, aging, ambition, and what it truly means to be seen.
Blending clown, physical comedy, and razor-sharp timing, Jackie pulls the audience into her private backstage universe, bursting with dramatic discoveries, guided self-love, and unexpected heart.
As she battles mishaps, memories, and her up-coming performance, Jackie slowly reveals the vulnerable woman beneath the feathers, ego, and delightful delusion. What begins as bravado and spectacle becomes something more intimate, funny, and human.
At it’s core, Jackie, Baby! is both a love letter to audiences and a ritual devoted to comdey itself, honoring performance as survival, connection, and joy. Fast, funny, and oddly touching, this solo show celebrates the beautiful mess of being human.
A bold, character-driven ride for anyone who loves their comedy messy, tender, and just a little unhinged.
