Jesse Gersten is a comedian based in New England, and his blog is a well-done, professional introduction to his humor, his upcoming dates and his career. As you explore the site it becomes apparent that Jesse is a very funny guy, but I was also impressed by his savvy approach to marketing himself on the Internet by integrating social media with his website, and the overall quality of his site.
Recent blog posts cover Jesse’s suspicion that his cat may in fact be Italian, and a hilarious account of a recent show he did in Connecticut. Jesse doesn’t pull any punches with his humor and everyone seems to be fair game but like most really good comedians he’s not afraid to expose himself and his own foibles as well.
For anyone interested in creating a big break for themselves in show business, Jesse Gersten’s blog is an example of how an artist or performer themselves can really take the bull by the horns and establish their brand.
By actively using his website to give the world a taste of what his comedy is all about, Jesse has a way of connecting with his audience–and potential audience–beyond shows that he does. I’ll bet that many performers starting out are not willing to go the extra mile that Jesse does go with his site, and it is to his credit that he pours extra energy and talent into his online presence. It just might make all the difference in the long run.
The Jesse Gersten blog is built on WordPress using what appears to be a customized theme, and the whole site is executed very professionally. In addition to being a comedian that you’ll be interested to see if he comes to your town, Jesse’s website is full of laughter, generously shared. Definitely go take a look.NULL
