Feb 18, 2026 - New York, NY - Jackie Kashian’s upcoming new hour of stand-up, Alter-Kashian is set for a release on YouTube February 25th, with a premiere event at 5pm PT, 7pm ET, with Jackie Kashian watching along in the chat. A comic’s comic, Kashian is a favorite of fans across the globe with peers like Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, and Brian Regan who regularly bring Jackie to open for them when she’s not headlining clubs and theaters herself for 45 weeks of the year. Her newest hour, is chock full of great stories and rapid-fire punchlines, told by a comedy powerhouse who has been honing her skills for decades. Said Kashian, “as an adult, human woman in 2026 it will come as no surprise to anybody that I am entirely made of bees at this point. Anger. Frustration.” All of it has been synthesized into this newest hour of comedy that bars no holds and pulls no punches.”
Jackie Kashian’s albums debut atop Comedy charts regularly and her two podcasts, The Dork Forest and The Jackie and Laurie Show (with co-host Laurie Kilmartin) are widely popular and have enjoyed lifespans of 20 and 10 years each and are showing no signs of slowing down. You can also read her writing in “The Comedy Film Nerds Guide to Movies” and the comic book “Comics Comics Quarterly”. Her stand-up comedian can be seen on After Midnight, Conan, Corden, HBO, Netflix, and Comedy Central. She’s been heard on Bob’s Burgers and Strange Planet; and she’s been featured on NPR and Audible.
Alter-Kashian includes stories of her buddy system parameters around raging against strangers, including a story from the years when the drinking age was 18. Before she had set foot on stage, 40 years ago while attending college, Jackie was asked to perform comedy for the first time. More specifically, she was approached by security while heckling Sam Kinison mid-set and was told that "open mic is on Sundays." Three weeks later she did her first set. She loved it so much that she did it every night for the next year, and got a 1.8 GPA that semester. That first comedy club she performed in burned down a year later so she decided to finish University. She then moved to Minneapolis and later to Los Angeles and has been doing standup ever since.
Alter-Kashian is out Feb 25 on a YouTube Premiere event at 5pm PT/ 8pm ET with Jackie attending in the chat, and out March 27th as a comedy album available wherever comedy albums are heard.

Assistant tools differ widely in how much context they retain and how well they integrate with existing apps, so feature lists alone rarely tell the full story. A grouped view of assistant options can make those differences easier to weigh before testing.
Jackie Kashian is absolute class, so it is great to see her getting this kind of spotlight. I had a good laugh reading about how she actually started out in comedy by heckling Sam Kinison back in college and ended up getting a 1.8 GPA that semester because she was gigging every night. That level of dedication to a craft is pretty mental. It almost reminds me of researching creative rights and copyright protections for artists, much like looking into online Intellectual Property Law Assignment Help, where protecting original material becomes as important as creating it. Really keen to check out the YouTube premiere for Alter-Kashian, especially with her hanging around in the chat.
Finding the right structured documentation layout is essential when organizing complex team projects. You can check out informative writing layouts to see how different groups structure their collective notes and project guidelines.
Finding detailed evaluations of software capabilities is very helpful, especially when looking at hands on tool reviews to understand real-world performance before making a decision.
Jackie Kashian's decades-long trajectory in stand-up is brilliant, especially considering she actually got her start after heckling Sam Kinison and being told open mic was on Sundays. It is pretty hilarious how she ended up with a 1.8 GPA that semester from performing every single night. Lately, trying to balance my own busy schedule has felt just as chaotic; between managing assignments using New Assignment Help and looking into Ghostwriting Services in Australia to handle heavy writing workloads, finding time for a good comedy special is a solid relief. Looking forward to tuning into the YouTube premiere for Alter-Kashian, especially with her hanging out in the live chat.
