About Jimmy

Fresh from the grand stages of Cirque du Soleil and touring the world as P!NK‘s concert host, Jimmy Slonina is an award-winning actor, physical comedian, and performance creator  — "a precision loose cannon with a heart of gold."

With over four million YouTube hits under his belt, he has become one of the most sought-after variety character performers of the stage and screen.

Jimmy’s ‘serious comedy’ approach to any project is thoughtful, methodical, and always ‘audience first’. He places great emphasis on effective and engaging storytelling through both physical and verbal expression. Not quite stand-up, not quite clown, Jimmy blazes his own comedic trail.

Jimmy has wowed hundreds of thousands in theaters big and small, including the Slipper Room, Barclays Center, and Madison Square Garden in NYC, Steppenwolf Theater and Chicago Shakespeare Theatre in Chicago, the O2 in London, the Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin, the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, as well as more than a dozen Las Vegas showrooms. He has appeared in several critically-acclaimed films, commercials and videos.

“This wonderful performer,” the Chicago Tribune raved, “gives as distinctive a performance as any this year.” The Chicago Sun-Times described him as “an exceptional physical clown.” And the Las Vegas Review-Journal praised his solo show, “Slonina has the precision and control of a master mime, but he also has an actor’s sensibility… I can’t imagine anyone not having a good time.”
