   Jill's Comedian Bio
BioWith infectious energy and irresistible charm, Jill Twiss is a small-town girl that gets big time laughs.

A short time after turning down her admission to law school, Jill packed her bags and left her hometown of Custer, South Dakota, to take the New York City comedy scene by storm.

In her short time doing comedy, Jill has performed in venues ranging from the New York City subway to Madison Square Garden. Recently, she was a New York City finalist for Last Comic Standing season 5 and was a finalist in the Bud Light Ladies of Laughter competition.

About me:
I'm a stand-up comedienne and actress. I like glitter and cookies and hate coffee and boredom.

Also once I tried to crochet a skirt but it ended up weighing like 18 pounds and I could never wear it.

For now, you can check out my material and show schedule at http://jilltwiss.blogspot.com

Who I'd like to meet:
People with cake. Chocolate, ideally.
