Customized Program
Jackson's specialty is customizing comedy/songs/oratory for your conference, business meeting, banquet, celebration, any event.
"Jackson is an incredible comic as well as musician keeping us in laughter and high spirits throughout his performance. He took the time to learn about our group before the show and then tailored many of his comments and stories just for us. It was great!"
- Propane Gas Association of New England

Disorderly Conduct
In his rollicking revue of song parodies and topical originals, no musical form is safe or sacred with the Stand-Up Chameleon's disorderly conduct. In fact, it's all folked up, not to mention blues'd, country western'd, heavy mental'd, and rocked out! Special guests include the Lounge Lizard, the Plain White Rapper, Slimmer Pickins, Maestro, and Jackson's other altered egos in this inspired evening of foolishness and finesse.
"Almost impromptu in format, Gillman's program encouraged and received a great deal of willing participation. His charming and informal style makes the performance lively and fun."
- Portland Press Herald

A Dad's Eye View - from twinkle-in-the-eye stage, to the baby's first steps…
For anyone who has helped raise a child, Jackson will have you laughing and sighing in recognition of the challenges and delights of baby-rearing in this endearing comedy/music revue.
"In his casual, extemporaneous-seeming style, Jackson captivated his audience with his new act… Interspersed throughout his engaging patter are songs Jackson has either written or collected to sing to his daughter or illuminate the parental condition…very sweet…funny stuff…not to be missed."
- Bar Harbor Times

NewAgelessness
Jackson musically trips along the rutty road to enlightenment with many an insightful detour to view the spills along the way. SwamiRamaYogiBoobooSuchaWindbag and Jackson's other altered egos promise to warm the chakras of your heart and rattle your funnybone.
"Gillman's sharp-edged satire has audience howling... With all the jibing and poking fun, one quickly realizes that it takes one to know one. Gillman is able to affectively land his gentle punches right where it feels good because he knows his topic."
- Portland Press Herald

Fool for Love
Jackson careens along the roller-coaster ride of love -- from the dizzying heights, to the plummeting dips, and all the derailments along the way to happily ever after.
"Gillman is no fool on love and he leaves no romance unsung. From schoolboy puppy love to downeast adulation, his approach is quick-witted, intelligent, and tasteful.
- Bar Harbor Times

An Evening of Maine Humor
Come hear the Lobster Trap Rap and other wicked good downeast stories. Original, interactive, and in good taste, drawn from a decade of summer comedy performances.
"Gillman is funny, he's genuine, and he's got the tact of a tightrope walker. Who else sings comedy about the silly antics of tourists to a packed room of tourists?...he's a hell of a showman."
- The Bar Harbor Times
"I give Jackson my highest recommendation. He's really good."
- The late Maine humorist, Marshall Dodge
