Jamie Lissow
AFTRA
Jamie Lissow is a native of Rochester, NY. He graduated from Fredonia State with a degree in Mathematics and Psychology. Jamie then decided to abandon his plan of becoming a lawyer, and enter the world of stand-up comedy. He began turning heads right away.
A few years later, after working many treacherous road gigs and college shows, Jamie was invited to audition for the prestigious Montreal Comedy Festival. The Just For Laugh's Festival, as it's sometimes called is a unique chance to showcase in front of everyone in the industry all at once in the drooled, toiled and sought after "New Faces" category, where six minutes could change the direction of your career for better...or for worse. Jamie earned himself a spot in Montreal's Festival, 2001.
At Montreal, interest in Jamie continued to grow. His appearance at the festival was a huge success, getting him a mention in the "Hollywood Reporter" and the "Variety" magazine the following week.
Since Montreal, Jamie's career continued to soar. He has made appearances on "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn," NBC's "Late Friday," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" and is a proud "Star Search" loser. Jamie now resides in Rochester NY and can be heard mornings on "The Wease Show" Fox 95.1. He can also be seen recurring on Fox News Channel's "Red Eye" and taped his first half hour special "Comedy Central Presents" to begin airing in early 2009. Jamie has been called, "The best writer since Seinfeld" and "Adam Sandler without the guitar."
