Talking about… Jessica Gross

It’s a fact that women are a species that is superior to men. This is not feminist statement but a natural observation of the human species; women give birth, men don’t. The word ‘woman’ is synonymous with the words ‘mother’ and ‘protection’ and deserve the respect and admiration of their supplementary sex/gender; men.
Now, when we talk about Jessica Gross, besides of having a charming smile, seductive face and legs for miles, she has a gift that will make her step up on the scale in comparison to other women: she can make people laugh. So men, take off your hats for comedian Jessica Gross. Pick some flowers and review your pick up lines, because these lady’s wits are hard to match.

How would you describe what you do? I touch people, not like actually touch people, but in a way that makes people laugh. That didn’t come out right.

Is comedy something that you have cherished all your life? Or was it a sudden knock-on-your-door? For me, comedy started out as a way to make friends; I loved hearing people laugh. After a few unexpected turns in life, around age 24, comedy, as a career, came knocking at my door. I couldn’t help but open that door to see where it might lead me.

Please tell us what went through your mind when you first dared yourself to step up to the mic and make people laugh. The first time I stepped up to the mic, a little voice inside me said, “Jessica, whatever you do, no matter how bad it gets, just don’t vomit.”

What do you generally talk about when you are on the stage? What is the process that you go through to obtain a successful joke? I usually stick to all of those wonderful awkward situations that happen in everyday life. My boyfriend reminds me, “Hey write that down, that’s a joke!” He usually says it in a weird deep voice, like in some way, his version of his voice is different than his actual voice.

How intertwined is your comedy with your personal life and vice versa? It’s not really intertwined, it just wraps around a lot, like a cinnamon bun.

What are, quote-unquote, Jessica Gross “Stuff that makes you sing and dance? Stuff that makes you laugh and cry? Stuff that makes you think?” This question.

You have taken the role of an entertainer. How often are you a spectator and how do you, yourself, find entertainment? As much as possible; watching comedy is now my education. I can only grow as a comedian by learning new and exciting techniques, like a stripper.

What is, according to your discretion, what makes people laugh? “Pain. There is no comedy in Heaven, all comedy comes from pain.” Mark something wrote that, or Sam, or William. Sounds like something a William would say.
