The Bio

Jess Andrade is a Brooklyn-born comedian, traveler, mother, and fashion voice carrying Cabo Verde from Brockton to the world. Her work blends sharp diaspora storytelling with the warmth of morabeza — the Cape Verdean spirit of welcome.

On stage, she's been called "fearless," "filthy in the best way," and "the comedian your tia wishes she could be." Off stage, she's chasing two kids through Brockton and a flight schedule back to the islands.

Her brand spans live comedy, travel storytelling, lifestyle, and a growing fashion line rooted in island color and the iconography of home.
