Holly Jackson: School's Open Found It's Class Clown

Feature Comedian:  Schools Open
Venue:                     School II, Chanhassen, MN
Time:                      Wednesday, October 13th @ 7pm

For fourteen years, Holly Jackson enjoyed a career as an event planner dabbling in wedding planning on the side.  Two years ago, her husband was deployed to Iraq.  Jackson was deeply affected by the absence of her husband and her friends took notice.  Shortly after he left, Jackson's friend told her, "you're an event planner, plan an event and go over there."  The conversation happened on a Friday.  By Monday, Jackson managed to arrange a line-up of well-known comedians and submit the program to the USO.  The show is cleared to perform for the troops this spring. 

The past two years of Jackson's life were something of a whirlwind.  She now runs her own entertainment management company, NAF Entertainment.  She has organized a Gospel tour through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.  Soon, Jackson will head to Dubai to assist a start up record company with public relations, and she is just beginning to delve into her own stand up comedy career.  She will be performing Monday, October 12th at 8:00pm at the Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis.

Jackson is also proud to be heading a fundraiser for Bruno Serato, owner of the White House restaurant in Anaheim, CA.  Serato was recently featured in People magazine and interviewed by Katie Couric for donating thousands of meals to the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim.  As a result of his generosity, Serato will receive the Humanitarian of the Year award from the Anaheim International Film Festival.  However, his generosity has also brought him serious financial hardship.  Jackson's fundraising mission will attempt to ease his financial strain.

Jackson still wakes up in the morning, thinks about the opportunities that have come to her in recent years and thinks, "wow, I can't believe this is my life!"  She has a wonderful son working on his second Cd and a loving husband who wrote a book about her. 

Although Jackson will not be singing at School's Open, since her sole venue for that is the shower, she will be providing comic relief between musical guests.  Come out to support a rising comedic genius!
