Demetrius L Jackson is a stand up comedian, originally from Columbus, OH. He in many ways embodies "the best of two worlds" being a proud biracial (half Black, half White), having a polished yet creative sense of style, and having a unique personality that combines Midwestern charm with dark humor! His fans appreciate his ability to balance edgy talking points, humorous delivery, and interpersonal charisma.
In 2019, Demetrius started performing stand up comedy at the Madhouse Comedy Club in San Diego. By April 2020, he had over 1 million+ views on TikTok. In 2024, Demetrius appeared on Fox’s Pictionary with Jerry O’Connell, Ricki Lake & Jahlil White (Steve Urkel). Currently, he does shows in the Chicagoland area, is sharpening his talents at Second City, and is working on building up his content as a social media influencer.
Demetrius credits both of his parents for his unrelenting and occasionally bashful humor. His father was the classic funny dad, very playful and always looking to break the ice. He describes his mother as not overtly comedic, but notes that she tried! Her role in forming his sense of humor was as a tireless supporter, always laughing at his jokes. He says "Since she was always laughing, I was always telling jokes."
Both of his parents were in the Marine Corps until he was 8, and because of that he says he learned at a young age how to communicate with many different types of people on a regular basis. This was fundamental in developing his friendly, down-to-earth demeanor.
Demetrius’ ultimate goal is to have a sketch comedy television series and at least one stand up comedy special. Anything after that is just a plus for him! In the near future, his first stand up comedy special entitled “Curls Gon Wild” is scheduled to be released sometime in 2026. And, we can't wait to see it!
