Jamie Loftus

Up-and-coming comedian Jamie Loftus has drawn comparisons to Andy Kaufman and Maria Bamford  for work that’s equal parts absurd and intellectual – from a web series born from an exercise with her therapist, to a podcast about the comic strip character Cathy.  Her new book Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs, invites you to “grab a dog, lay out your picnic blanket, and dig into the delicious and inevitable product of centuries of violence, poverty, and ambition, now rolling around at your local 7-Eleven.” On May 24, 2023, Jamie Loftus came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for an on-stage conversation with writer, podcaster, and media critic Sarah Marshall – which culminated in a hot dog eating contest.
