Jess Kaplan got her BFA in acting from Stella Adler Studio at NYU. She studied improv at Second City, UCB, and The Pit. She joined Howard Fine’s masterclass in LA and discovered standup. Then she found herself back in NYC and booked a role as the mistress opposite Emmy award nominee Josh Charles in a film— which she thought would launch her into SUPER stardom… spoiler alert: It didn’t. 

Then she found writing. Her spec scripts got her meetings with Lorne Michael’s Broadway Video, Reece Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, and Labron James’s SpringHill Entertainment. CBS studios and Frolic Media optioned her television show and she pitched to Netflix, Fox, and Amazon Studios— and guess what— it didn’t get picked up— so she decided to pop out some kids— and now she is ready to get back in the game with her new solo show “The Ceremony: Motherhood is a Trip.”
