It’s time for our series of posts here at Jessica Who?, titled “Word of the Week”. In these short articles, published on odd Fridays, I will explore the various labels and umbrella terms used to label us. By doing this, I hope to educate not only myself, but also anyone who may not be familiar with these terms. Feel free to add your own knowledge to each post by leaving a comment

The label that we will be examining is: Crossplay.

As promised, today I am sharing the video from my comedy show as Jessica. This took place last week and it was an all-female comic lineup. Like I said, it wasn’t my best night of comedy and the crowd was a bit rough. Still, I had fun and came away with some positives.
Pretty soon I will share some of my other stand-up comedy here, and I also plan to do more sets as Jessica so thank you for accompanying me on this journey! Check out the video after the jump.

It’s a funny episode and you can watch it after the jump.

One. That is the amount of times, before last week, that I had done stand-up comedy as Jessica. When I began my journey in the world of comedy in 2010, I didn’t know how to incorporate my feminine side into, but I knew that I wanted to.
The fact is, though, that it is tough enough getting on stage and preparing to tell jokes to a room full of strangers without compounding it with the whole “dude in a dress” factor. I was starting to think I’d never get to hit the stage as Jessica again, until I got a phone call.
