| Jackie Loeb at A Mic in Hand |

Jackie Loeb performed an amazingly sharp and entertaining set at A Mic in Hand in Glebe on November 25th, 2010. Jackie performed amazing impersonations of our lady president and an impressive array of famous singers. To cap it off, this woman can really sing! A voice that is matched with equal parts wit and charm. Do not miss her when she gets back from her US tour. |

 Wondering what is in the pipeline?
Wonder no more!
You may have notice the event listing on the right hand side of the page. That’s pretty exciting.

If we’re lucky, you may even get a chance to see some of his footage, but from what we saw, you really need to look out for his upcoming show.
