Introducing Jamie Manelis, the quintessential LA native with a touch of the infamous 'valley girl' spirit. As a Jewish, queer writer/comedian/actress, she fearlessly blazes her own trail, breaking boundaries and leaving a lasting impression on the entertainment industry.
Jamie's journey in the entertainment world began as a writers assistant, where she honed her skills while working on various projects in development with the visionary Joey Soloway. It was here that she discovered her true passion for storytelling and comedic brilliance. Her wit and sharp humor quickly caught the attention of industry veterans, propelling her forward on a remarkable path.
Fueled by her creative fire, Jamie penned a comedy feature for SONY, backed by the producing prowess of none other than Amy Pascal. This collaboration solidified her position as a rising star in the world of comedy, captivating audiences with her unique perspective and razor-sharp dialogue.
But fate had something unexpected in store for Jamie. While not a singer, her accidental foray into TikTok led to an unforeseen twist. In a whirlwind of surreal events, Jamie found herself nominated for an MTV VMA. The culprit? A TikTok collaboration with none other than the legendary John Mayer. To this day, Jamie remains delightfully perplexed by this unexpected turn of events, forever etching her name in the annals of internet stardom.
Beyond her achievements, Jamie has a magnetic presence that captivates everyone she encounters. Her genuine warmth and sense of humor allows for an instant connection and having her as a guest on Dystopia Tonight was a truly great time.
