ABOUT

Jesse Elias is a fresh, ripe, San Francisco-grown comic ready to be picked and enjoyed. Jesse Elias draws creative inspiration from music and literature of the 19th century and cartoons and candy of the 1990s.  2012 has been a fun year for Jesse Elias because he got to perform in festivals like Sketchfest, Bridgetown, 32nd Annual Comedy Day, and Outside Lands. Prior to that, Jesse Elias did a cool show called The Smug Shift which was apparently replayed on Sirius XM radio, but he never got to hear it because Jesse Elias doesn't know anybody with a satellite radio. Prior to that, Jesse Elias competed and won in an SF comedy talent show where he reproduced another comedian's vocal patterns on electric violin. Jesse Elias credits everything he knows about being funny to having studied the comedies of the ancient masters, Plautus and Terence. -- E.K.
