Jackie recently shot “The Worlds Greatest Beer Run” in Thailand , starring along side Russell Crowe, Bill Murray and Zac Efron, and recently “Ricky Stanicky” with John Cena and William H. Macy. Jackie’s golf background, popularity from a national Phil Mickelson commercial, and relationships on the PGA and celebrity golf circuit, make him an often requested headlining comedian for affiliated and corporate event entertainment including Bay Hill in Orlando FL, Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles CA, The Hideaway Golf Club in Palm Springs, CA, Trump Doral in Miami FL. Morgan Stanley, Hertz, IBM, Intel and Yahoo to name a few.
Jackie is truly a “comic’s comic” whose refreshingly unique brand of sarcastic observational humor puts him in a class all his own, apart from the many derivative cookie cutter comics plying the airways today. Audiences young and old appreciate his wit and rapid-fire “take no prisoners” delivery.

Period. The End?
2024-10-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Off Cabot Comedy & Events, 9 Wallis Street, Beverly, MA, 01915, United States
*COMEDY SHOW*
Period.The End? is for anyone with or around someone with a uterus (which basically means: this is for everyone). This live event is centered on menopause, perimenopause, and the mental and physical impact it has on our bodies.
Produced and hosted by Erin LaPlante and Stephanie Lazenby (of the comedy series, Couch to Mic), the evening will be part performance, part panel discussion, all joy and empowerment.
Erin and Steph created Period. The End? with the mutual realization that generational silence around menopause, periods, childbirth, hormonal rage and incontinence is the root cause of shame and stigma.
Period. The End? begins with original theatrical pieces by actor/activist Sandi Clark and comedian Monica Dorley, and features the dynamic performer Sara Juli – whose stage work includes Tense Vagina: An Actual Diagnosis.
Then Erin and Steph channel their inner Oprah, moderating an exciting discussion with Dr. Sonja Nelson, OBGYN; and Krista Haapala, author, artist and therapist. They’ll respond to pre-submitted questions from the audience about every aspect of perimenopause and menopause including sex, hormones, no hormones, positive aspects of menopause, and so much more!
