Press Reviews

“Not even Sybil could compete with all of her personalities. Her comic genius is like Lily Tomlin & Tracey Ullman.”

Philadelphia Daily News

“Accomplished playwright and nimble actress Jennifer Blaine keeps this show touching and funny throughout.”

TimeOut NY

“Jennifer Blaine is a master of voices and characters, and she uses that gift to explore social phenomena to sometimes poignant, always comedic effect. Her work with the Female FunnyFest and last year’s show SORRY have gained her a small following, sure to grow this year as she takes on the phenomenon of white flight from urban centers in the early 1970s.”

Debra Auspitz
City Paper

“In her sharp, funny one-woman show, actress-comedian Jennifer Blaine takes a look at men, women and the word that separates us all: “sorry.” Her wacky assortment of characters – the self-help Indian doctor and elderly Jewish woman steal the show – keep you engaged from start to finish, as well as stock you up with a few dirty jokes sure to delight the grandparents. Best arrive early for a chance at seats.”

Elizabeth Greenspan
City Paper

“Thank you for inviting me to your show, where I met a new group of people — your characters. I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair!! I haven’t laughed like that in a long time.”

Oscar Zambrano
Translator, Theater Director, NY Times opinion writer

“Jennifer Blaine’s performance is outstanding. Her poignant use of humor is sheer catharsis for any woman who feels like she apologizes for everyone & everything. And to keep it gender-friendly, her ability to capture male personas makes “Sorry” a must-see.”

Audience Reviews

“Wedgies and Icecubes unite! If you don’t know what that means, then you have to see Jennifer Blaine’s show! Jennifer Blaine brings humor to the very difficult topic of gender relationships and makes it funny. We all laughed so much and hope we can have her back for a return performance”

“Jennifer made us all laugh so much. People were impressed with her facility for being a wide range of characters, taking on such a pertinent topic, and providing so much humor throughout”

Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance
Brandeis University, Waltham, MA

“There’s something for everyone in Jennifer Blaine’s show: SORRY. Everybody is part of the fun. All the character interactions were fresh and unpredictable. She found a way to make everyone feel like a pivotal part of the performance. She is hysterically funny. We laughed so hard our faces hurt!”

Converse College
South Carolina

"Not just a comedian. Blaine blends seriousness and absurdity to an art form where even the joke that bombs brilliantly delivers you a laugh afterward."

Ron K., Underground at Ron's

“I’m still laughing about your show: “White Flight!”, and I almost have your theme song out of my head now. I so look forward to working with you next year!”

Barry Becker
Philadelphia Fringe Festival, 2004

“This was really inspiring. Jennifer shows us how to persevere when we are challenged. We are all being interrupted and disrupted all the time. The fact that she could pull off her project against all odds inspires me that I can do something that seems impossible too.“

Kate Gibson
Stand-up Comedian and Dramaturge

“There’s something for everyone in Jennifer Blaine’s show: SORRY. Everybody is part of the fun. All the character interactions were fresh and unpredictable. She found a way to make everyone feel like a pivotal part of the performance. She is hysterically funny. We laughed so hard our faces hurt!”

Converse College

“Jennifer Blaine is enthusiastic, energetic, and hysterical. Her performance of “Sorry” was an incredibly funny portrayal of the difference between men and women and the way each relates to the word sorry. We would highly recommend this performance to everyone.”

"The idea that brain tumors rob patients of their self was so beautifully explored in Jennifer Blaine’s theatrical performance. Blaine’s representation of the tumor was phenomenal. Blaine’s performance is a must-watch for all future neurosurgeons as it gives them a space to begin thinking about how they, as an empathetic human, touch their cold, sharp instruments to another human’s delicate brain while realizing the impact that “just another surgery” [in the surgeons’ eyes] will have on the patient and their loved ones."

Dr. Helen Karimi

“Jennifer is extraordinarily skilled at embodying vastly different characters. Her talent is intimidating yet her heart is so wide!”

Elizabeth Liang
Actor, Writer, Producer, Facilitator, Speaker

“Jennifer was the first person to coach me on character and script development, and her guidance was invaluable. Her creativity is truly boundless and generous. I am so grateful to know, learn from, and collaborate with Jennifer!”

Karen Gross
Cabaret Performer, Communications Consultant, and Founder/Host of She Rocked it

“When you hear a music group’s “hit song” you have to wait years for the next one. With Jennifer, you don’t have to wait. Her next show is always super!”

Jim Clapp
Newark Delaware

“Jennifer is easy to work with, a joy to work with! I love her out-of-the-box thinking. The way she brings solutions, ideas, offerings, that maybe other people don’t think of. She helps those of us who are too tunnel-visioned or too close to something to cast a wider lens. Her presence affirms my own creative gifts and offerings and my worthiness of taking up space and the validity of my own ideas. Jennifer melds so many seemingly disparate threads that may not feel like they’re cohesive or related but brings them all together in a way that makes sense and is often inspiring, energizing and moving. She brings this really keen intellect and wit together with just plain pure comedy and I think that is a real gift and a unique knack that she has.”

Naila Francis
Poet, Ordained Minister, Grief Coach

“During lockdown I watched Jennifer’s play “Mannequin” online, which was just the most brilliant opportunity for me to her work! It was fabulous! Jennifer’s Ivana Trump readings on Facebook have inspired me to think about what I could do with my Queen character and I’m thinking about reading Sue Townsend’s “The Queen and I” aloud! Jennifer’s passion shines through everything she does and her creativity is so inspiring!”

Matthew Gough
Longtime friend and fellow actor from the Brimingham, UK

“I always come away with new perspectives on relevant topics.”

Judy Nelson

“This show is medicine for right now. I was moved to laughter and to tears and in awe of the seamless weaving of so many disparate voices and personalities.“

Naila Francis
Poet, Ordained Minister, Grief Coach

“Jennifer is a true professional committed to craft, highly honed characters and pushing boundaries. I need an MC to command the stage with presence and deliver the goods. Jennifer does that over and over and over again! Collaboration has always been easy since Jennifer is a highly generous person and that comes across in performance as well as outside of it. She’s not just a comedian. Her material made me think. As a “comedian”, she blends seriousness and absurdity to an art form to get messages / social commentary across. Also a master of “subtly” / nuance on the delivery of characters! It forces one to pay attention, so as to not to miss what may come next. She’s a comic genius who’s mastered the art of the laugh afterward when initial “joke” has perhaps “bombed.” Her follow-up, think on your feet response, always BRILLIANTLY NAILS IT!”

Ron K., Underground at Ron's

“We laughed and we connected with each other and with the people around us. We sang, answered, shouted, hugged, whispered, shared….Jennifer opens doors for frozen, stuck, lost, broken, stalled, procrastinating, hiding artists like me – and it was absolutely transformative!”

Irene Molloy
Broadway Actress, Singer Songwriter

“Jennifer’s characters are truthful, genuine, and most importantly well-crafted. Her one-woman show is not to be missed. She completely won over our national conference audience, and her performance stood out as a highlight at our event. We’d hire her again no question and recommend her for occasions needing absolute entertainment.”
