Creative Chats podcast

JJ Barrows is an artist, author and standup comedian based in Southern California. Through the mixed media of art and words, she uses colors and comedy to address the awkward experience of being a human, getting older while remaining young and most recently the mystery that is marriage after 35 years of single hood. She most recently published her first book “it’s called a spade,” and finished filming her first Dry Bar Comedy Special, proving to be relatable from coast to coast. When not performing or painting, she enjoys traveling with her husband or life at home on the beaches of SoCal, surfing, biking, or crying at sunset. Life is too beautiful not to cry.
