Dara Jemmott

Teacher

Dara Jemmott is a Jersey girl, Brooklyn based comedian, host, voice over artist. Dara has taught several Stand Up! Girls classes, and hosted Stand Up! Girls showcases. After years of working in corporate America, a bad date pushed Dara to pursue stand-up, and she soon realized she could save thousands on therapy. Dara hosts and performs all around the country, and has even taken her talents to London and Barcelona. When not performing she is teaching stand-up and improv, to young kids and teens, to motivate them to find their own platforms of expression. Dara also co-hosts a podcast, Comedians for Hire, which was inspired by her personal journey of ditching the corporate cubicle for the crazy world of comedy.
