Jill Bresnahan fell in love with acting the old-fashioned way—on stage, under bright lights, in uncomfortable shoes. But once comedy entered the chat, she dove in headfirst and never looked back.
She trained at the New York Conservatory for the Dramatic Arts, Upright Citizens Brigade (praise be), and The Magnet Theater, sharpening her skills in acting, improv, and the art of powering through auditions with a smile and three iced coffees. Since then, Jill’s been cast in films, commercials, and web series—including her breakout role as Step Mamma Smalls in The Smalls Family, a creative remix of Notorious B.I.G. lyrics turned family sitcom. The series racked up over 12 million views across YouTube and Funny or Die and gave her street cred with hip-hop fans and comedy nerds alike.
After years of hustling in New York City, Jill has traded subway delays for sunshine and now calls Jacksonville, Florida home. She performs improv weekly at First Coast Comedy, where she continues to crack up strangers, and occasionally herself.
When she’s not on stage or set, Jill enjoys writing, directing, and generously handing out unsolicited advice. You're welcome.
