HISTORY.
Jaswinder Russell was always an unconventional child with unconventional dreams. While her friends and family had dreams of becoming doctors, lawyers and actors, Jas had had her sights set on something else—a medium.
It was a dream born from binge watching shows such as Ghost Whisperer and Medium that would last all of six months. One night she had convinced Ravi to watch The Shining with her. Jas only made it through the first act before she was crying into Arthur’s lap. This would be the beginning of a string of pipeline careers for Jas that would make her a jack of all trades, but master of none.
A girl born with a sharp tongue and a quick wit, Jas was always cracking people up—which often landed her in trouble at school for being deemed too disruptive in class and landed her in hot water with her parents every time parent-teacher conference rolled around.
Advika and Arthur were never angry—only disappointed and occasionally frustrated that their daughter chose to waste her high school education on acting like the class clown. Jas was happy to coast along, her grades never suffered but she never truly excelled in any subjects during her high school career, she graduated with grades high enough for her diploma but knew college was an unlikely route.
Jas has drifted through most of her life, shrugging her shoulders at questions about her future and career path. She wasn't like Ravi—with his passion for cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. Jas had a hundred passions and interests, but none that she ever considered herself interested or passionate enough to pursue a career.
Until 2019 when she started posting skits about growing up with her Muslim Mom on TikTok. ( Think Laura Ramoso on TikTok with her German Mom TikToks. ) It was a project created to let her creative juices flow after feeling aimless and lost for several years, not knowing what she wanted to do with her life. Jas soon found her TikTok's gaining traction with likes, comments and views skyrocketing into the high millions within a couple of weeks of beginning to post them.
Shortly after her TikTok catapulted her onto almost everyone's FYP, Jas took her skit and quick wit to local bars for their comedy nights to flex her comedic muscles and test the waters at stand-up comedy. Her jokes were an instant hit with the audience and quickly earned Jas the coveted Thursday night comedy slot at a local comedy club.
In 2022 Jas applied for a spot in a comedy showcase in Los Angeles to win a chance at taking her act on tour with other new voices in comedy just like her. For the first time in her life, Jas had won something and she had finally found something she was passionate about. After winning the showcase, Jas went on tour mid-2023 and has been touring the country with her popular comedy act until she returned home to Aurora Bay recently after the tour's final date in New York.
TIDBITS.
her favourite ice cream flavour is pistachio and is an avid lover of all things matcha flavoured.
jas learned about their estranged family from ravi, not advika and arthur. she stands firm on the feeling being mutual—if they don't want to know her, then she doesn't want to know them either.
doesn't consider herself muslim or christian but considers her faith to be somewhere in the middle—practices aspects of both religions but doesn't consider herself to be devout in either
comedy heroes that she aspires to be half as good as are mindy kaling, margret cho, jen brister, sindhu vee and quinta brunson.
one of her dreams is to book a guest role on abbott elementary
big time yapper
