Comedian Bio

Up-and-coming comedian, Jane Haze isn't here for your prejudgment. This funny lady likes to test the boundaries of social perspective and general intelligence trapsing on the edge of divisive, without being one of those preachy comics. Quirky and fun, but not afraid to talk smack with the boys, this self proclaimed tomboy has played in some of the nation’s top clubs, like the Punchline in San Francisco to the Funnybone in Virginia Beach. Within the first year and a half of her performing, she was already on Seattle's Comcast Comedy On-Demand programming.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Jane along with her 2 siblings were raised by their single mom. Times were hard, but being Civil Servant brats had its perks - they got to travel. At 8 years old, she moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; at 9, it was to Alexandria, VA; at 13, it was back to Memphis, but this time, to the suburbs.
Growing up in the suburbs, there wasn't a lot to do - this is when watching TV passes the time. More wanderlust was instilled and this time, Haze's interest in comedy was piqued by a popular improv show on tv, watching it religiously, which led to knowing about specific comics who participated, and after a while, she realized that Stand up Comedy was where it was at.

Having the opportunity to see late night shows, like Late Friday, were her first exposure of the current headliners and what comedy is today. It took about 5 years of comedy inundation, before Hazey had a chance to get on stage for the first time after she moved to Seattle. Becoming a regular at the Comedy Underground for two years, she was exposed to one of the best alt and intellectual scenes in the country, and even played the Seattle's indie staple Laffhole. She then moved to San Francisco, where she had the privilege to work and see our countries top comics and most historic clubs. Jane thinks it's still pretty cool to have been a regular at the Purple Onion, where comedy greats like Lenny Bruce and Phyllis Diller performed in the 50s.

Doing stand up is not Jane Haze's only talent, she has also performed sketch with Lamont Ferguson's "West Coast" Follies and performed with her foreign exchange group a small sketch show for the former American Ambassador to Germany, Daniel Coats at his home in Berlin. Briefly, she was a member of the Memphis Improv Troupe the Wiseguys. When she's not doing comedy, she can be seen playing clarinet and/or guitar with her band, The Community Bubble.

Currently, she tours with headliner Mo Alexander across the country, as a comic, minion and road warrior. Jane Haze can be found at facebook.com/janehazecomedy, twitter.com/janehaze or janehaze.org.
