bio

Being born and raised in New Orleans, Jodi Borrello's
comedy takes on a unique perspective from a
one of a kind environment.  The source of her comedy all comes down to one thing --- her family.  

 "My daughter asks me "Mom am I adopted?"
 I said of course you're not adopted we tried
to adopt they said we were unfit parents."

From having managed a family business to being a
mother, she carries part of each family member to
the stage, and brings them to life in a clever, witty
 and honest manner.  Jodi brings a never ending smile and
signature laugh that are infectious with audiences.

Her comedy material is featured alongside the
best female comedians in the bestselling book
"She's So Funny" and the recently published
book "Squeaky Clean Comedy."

Jodi is currently performing with Budd Friedman's
The Improv at Harrah's Casinos around the country.
Recently appeared on CNNs Showbiz Tonight, NPR,
The Weather Channel and Jodi was chosen as one of
New Orleans 30 People to Watch for 2005.

Jodi still resides in New Orleans, calling it home, even after Hurricane Katrina. Jodi will never again sleep in or sit in a bean bag chair. Excerpt from LA Times article:

"The storm scattered the pieces of Borrello's life parents, friends, comedy gigs, a family court-reporting business like confetti in the breeze. The 36-year-old single mom and her 11-year-old daughter, Jessie, fled with a pair of flip-flops each, two dogs and three clean T-shirts. The two landed at a relative's home in Opelousas, La., where they slept on beanbag chairs."
