About this event
Back after a resoundly hilarious Great Star Theater debut as part of SF Sketchfest, Jes Tom returns to perform an hour of standup comedy on sex in the face of death, gender transition on the brink of oblivion, and the search for love at the end of the world.
Jes Tom is a stand-up comic, actor, and writer, gleefully providing the trans, queer, Asian American, cantankerous slut perspective that everyone never knew they wanted. They are a story editor on HBO Max's OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH. Jes can be seen & heard in the Hulu Feature CRUSH, HBO Max’s LOVE LIFE, Adult Swim's TUCA & BERTIE, and on their own digital series DEAR JES, for Netflix’s The Most. Their writing has been published by Reductress, Shondaland, and Condé Nast’s Them, and they wrote for the Audible/Broadway Video series HOT WHITE HEIST, produced by Alan Cumming. Jes has been featured in The New York Times, Vice, Ozy, Forbes, NowThis, Vulture’s Comedians You Should and Will Know in 2021, and were selected as a New Face at the 2021 Just For Laughs Festival.
