hi, this is jamie loftus. i am a comedian, emmy-nominated tv writer and podcaster (sorry) in los angeles if that's okay, but am from boston originally, with your permission of course.

i just finished working on LOLITA PODCAST, a feminist and survivor-focused documentary series on lolita by vladimir nabokov and all its crummy adaptations. it’s been recommended by the new york times, the new yorker, indiewire, paste, vulture, the av club and more.

before that, i made a show called MY YEAR IN MENSA. it’s about joining mensa as a joke, then getting sucked into the undertow of far-right secret mensa facebook groups, and the history of IQ tests on the whole. it was ~declared~ one of the best podcasts of 2020 by the new york times and a bunch of other places.

here is a short list of things that are true. i, jamie, am:
- a tv writer that has staffed for ‘robot chicken’ on adult swim, ‘magical girl friendship squad’ on syfy, ‘human kind of’ on facebook watch, and soon ‘teenage euthanasia’ on adult swim.
- the cohost of ‘the bechdel cast,’ a feminist movie podcast on iheartradio with caitlin durante.
- writer and performer of ‘boss whom is girl,’ about a devious corporate feminist named shell gasoline-sandwich at edinburgh fringe 2019, recommended by the guardian.
- a nationally touring standup back when that was legal.
- an illustrator and animator who has worked for comedy central, vice, playboy, paste magazine, JASH, cafe and i guess myself.
- creator, writer and star of ‘irrational fears’ on comedy central digital, and talent and writer for ‘upgraded’ and ‘robot takeover’ on the now-deceased super deluxe.

Here’s some info on my one-woman show Boss Whom is Girl. I know the phrase ‘one-person show’ is usually shorthand for ‘tedious and bad’ but I promise this one isn’t.

Shell Gasoline-Sandwich, a toxic corporate feminist who is teaching all fellow girlbosses how to use technology to steal data for fun, profit and #feminism. Come meet Shell and her digital companion Patricia to learn about the Inverted Pussy Pyramid of Girlboss Needs and learn how to take advantage of the poor for personal profit just as well as the boys!

Written and performed by me and produced/tech directed by Isaac Taylor.
