What
critics have said about Blaine's previous one-woman shows: |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
"Not
even Sybil could compete with all of her personalities. Her comic genius is
like Lily Tomlin & Tracey Ullman." Philadelphia
Daily News |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In her sharp, funny one-woman show, "SORRY," actress-comedian Jennifer
Blaine takes a look at men, women and the word that separates us all: "sorry."
Her wacky assortment of characters keep you engaged from start to finish,
as well as stock you up with a few dirty jokes sure to delight the grandparents."

"In "Upside Down…Whuh?" Blaine proffers spot-on physical
characterizations. Ruth's quivering bent-over body and Danny's macho postures
are both convincing and laugh-out loud funny." From a feature by Deni Kasrel,
"Cult of Personality," Philadelphia
Daily News, 2006 |

Deni
Kasrel of CITY PAPER recently featured Blaine in an article: "In
Blaine's work there's issues of diversity and connectivity. Being connected
to everybody in the world. The shows have a unifying effect." Jennifer
is honored that two of her previous Philly Fringe shows were both chosen as
"Pick of the Fringe" by City Paper. Blaine has also enjoyed periodic
performances at the WomenSpeak Theater Festival for her shows "Sorry"
and for "White Flight: A Love Letter to My Neighborhood." |
|
|
|
|
Blaine attracts a wide audience, ranging in ages, races, and voices as diverse
as her characters and unites them all in laughter. She has opened for Joe Piscopo
at The Sands in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Blaine has opened for George Carlin,
performed with Chris Rock, was featured on ABC's Philly After Midnight, and
has appeared on Broadway. |
|
|
|
Blaine's
original characters thrive off the spontaneous improvisational interplay with
the audience. She regularly appears in voiceovers and commercials, at the Philadelphia
Female Funny Fest, and entertains at colleges and special events throughout
the country. Jennifer Blaine has been creating solo performances since 1995,
when her first full-length show premiered at the Samuel Beckett on Theatre Row
in New York City. |
