I Am Not The Hero of This Story

Recorded at the Acme Comedy Company in Minneapolis just weeks after the 2016 election, this stand-up album captures Jackie Kashian balancing political anxiety with personal storytelling. She pivots from the uncertain state of the world to earnest and hilarious tales about her life, including shoplifting romance novels, the dynamics of her marriage to a game developer, and her ‘Midwestern La Femme Nikita’ persona. The special showcases her ability to blend sharp cultural observation with a deeply human, geek-friendly sense of humor.
