Staff Reports
Stand-up comedian Erin Jackson performs October 21 and 22 at the Altamont Theater. Since first making a name for herself at colleges and east coast comedy clubs, Erin has garnered national attention with performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham.
Jackson was a semifinalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and was a featured writer and performer for TBS’s Bitcom Series. Erin has made several appearances on The Bob and Tom Show, she was invited by HBO to open for Bill Maher at the tapings for his latest HBO special.
She’s armed with a megawatt smile and a pocket full of dreams, Erin
Jackson is poised to conquer the world of stand-up. In fact, she’d
probably be well on her way to superstardom by now if her friends and
family hadn’t spent so many years stealing her joy.
“Washington
has been the home of a number of very good comics and a few great ones
(Wanda Sykes, Dave Chappelle, Lewis Black, Martin Lawrence). Erin
Jackson could be next in line.” ~ The Washington Post
The Altamont theater has a growing reputation of one of the most
intimate listening rooms in Asheville so catching some of the top rising
comedy stars will certainly be a fantastic treat.
