JJ Barrows is a Comedian, Author, and Mixed Media Artist who’s performed in
comedy clubs, churches and awkward dinner parties all over America. However,
don't assume colorful and comedic means a lack of honesty. JJ has also traversed the
difficulties of eating disorders, family dysfunctions, and an on-and-off struggle with
depression. With a refreshing story-teller style, she reveals the freedom a quippy
sense of humor can reveal in all of us by giving breath to those gritty moments.
She released a Dry Bar Comedy Special “Doodle All Day,” published two books “it’s
called a spade,” and “KINDA FUNNY,” wrote, produced and starred in her own
comedy special, “The DIY Comedy Special,” filmed on location at home... thanks to
COVID clearing her schedule for nearly two years and freeing up all her time. Her
favorite career highlight was meeting Rob Lowe in a parking lot, until most recently
when Dolly Parton waved to her and she momentarily forgot to keep breathing.
When she’s not performing, painting, or trying to find her way back to the ocean,
she’s at home in Tennessee with her husband, Josh Newton, as they learn how to be
first time parents! You can find her on Instagram @jjbarrows, as well as watch her
videos, shop her art, and sign up for her email list at jjbarrows.com.
