Jillian Snow
A powerhouse vocalist, sketch comedian, and unapologetic Liza Minnelli superfan who launched her career in NYC, cracking up crowds at the Laugh Factory, Gotham Comedy Club, and Comix NYC. Village Voice’s Michael Musto said, “This could open up Minnelli to a whole new audience!”—which Jillian took as permission to NEVER stop. Now based in Portland, Jillian blends comedy and cabaret into original work. She’s performed at favorite venues like 54 Below, Feinstein’s at the Nikko, and Portland Center Stage. With collaborator David Saffert, she co-created Liberace & Liza: Holiday at the Mansion, which sold out two seasons at Portland Center Stage. Whether singing show tunes or writing sketches, Jillian brings humor, heart, and respect for every artist she portrays. It all began in the shower with shampoo bottles as her audience. She still can’t believe she gets to share this joy with real live humans.
