Writing
Jacqueline Pereda is a writer, producer, and comedian who is passionate about creating comedy that comments on the culture and our universal struggle with identity. Most recently Jacqueline wrote, directed and produced her half-hour comedic pilot, Generation Por qué? starring Andrea Burns (Westside Story, In the Heights) after the short form web-series was a Finalist for the 2017 Sundance New Voices Lab. This year, Generation Por qué? was also chosen as an official selection for SeriesFest, Women In Comedy Festival and the LA Comedy Festival.
Her full-length play, A Visitor's Pass on the Virgin Mary was awarded the 2019 Residency at the New York's Governor Island's Arts Center through Hypokrit Theater Company. Her comedy has appeared on TruTV, Funny or Die, Mas Mejor, WhoHaha, Comedycake, Brown Girl Magazine, and at the Brooklyn Comedy Festival. She also wrote, produced and directed the satirical news show, The Ethnically Ambiguous News Hour, that aired weekly on her YouTube channel for one season. She has written, directed and produced over 20 comedic shorts and musical parodies in NYC and on her YouTube channel and is an alum of the UCB sketch program.
As the child of Cuban immigrants, Jacqueline spends most of her time explaining to her parents that Uber is not pronounced “You-ber” and that working from home is not “surfing the internet in your pajamas.” She is also a proud Zumba Instructor and can literally not stop making Zumba choreography to every song she hears.
