Jacob B. is a very outgoing and experienced party/event emcee/dancer who got his start in the party business back in the beginning of 2011. For 2 years, Jacob worked every weekend for a major children’s party company as their main emcee for everything from birthday parties to mitzvahs to Sweet 16’s. Jacob has worked for many high profile and celebrity clients over the years including Tina Fey, Hugh Jackman, Jim Gaffigan and Harry Belafonte to name a few, all of whom gave Jacob great praise for a job well done.
In 2013, Jacob stepped away from working regularly as a emcee so that he could spend more time focusing on his main career as a actor. In that time, Jacob has been working non-stop to make a name for himself in the film/tv world. He recently had his first episodic speaking role on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, as well as his first speaking role in a national commercial for “Beats by Dre” starring Kevin Garnett.
Jacob also just won first prize in a film contest for the show “Shameless” on Showtime which you can view here. http://www.sho.com/sho/video/titles/25995/shameless-film-fest-somewhere-in-new-jersey. He also recently shot a lead role in a new dramatic pilot being executive produced by Ice-T called “Taking ENY”.
Jacob also takes part in theater with a upcoming one night only performance on Broadway as a news reporter in a musical called “Fannie Lou” and he is also known for his comedy rap videos which have gone viral over the years and helped push him further into the field of entertainment.
