Jillie Reil

Jillie Reil is a stand-up comedian as well as an actress, model and writer. Known as The Cougar of Comedy(TM), she regularly takes the stage at The Comedy Store, The Improv, Flappers and various venues throughout Southern California in addition to guest hosting events and radio programs throughout the United States. Jillie was raised in rural Delano, Minnesota by parents who met in a candy factory after leaving their family farms. They joke that Jillie got her sweetness from their union. Jillie could always make people laugh and used this talent early in life to amuse family and friends. She was affectionately nicknamed "Silly Jillie" and "Spilly Jillie" for her goofiness and clumsiness. Influenced by her big brother and being a true adventurer at heart, Jillie enjoyed many tomboyish pastimes, including riding snowmobiles, motorcycles, quads and jet skis, driving pick-up trucks, boating and ice fishing, playing hockey and golf, and watching sports. Nonetheless, her desire for creativity remained strong.
