Jillian Markowitz is a writer and stand-up comedian based in Philadelphia. After studying at Second City in Chicago, Jillian attended and failed out of clown school, in what will forever be her life’s greatest metaphor. Jillian’s act features original music and stand-up comedy in equal parts. She seamlessly combines her proclivities for self-deprecation and oversharing with biting and insightful original ukulele music. Jillian's stand up has been featured on WXPN, and she has opened for comics like Bonnie McFarlane and Monroe Martin, and regularly hosts and co-produces several shows in the greater Philadelphia area, including Sofar Sounds Comedy, BalletX Young Xers Night at the Wilma Theatre, and Grin and Beer It at Earth Bread & Brewery. Jillian can also be found doing stand-up and music at Punch Line Philly, performing cabaret shows at retirement homes with Open Hearts On Tour, or re-watching Mad Men with her excellent tortoiseshell cat.
