We are jk squared
We are a Portland-based dynamic sketch comedy duo, Jacquelle Cherise Davis and Kaia Maarja Hillier. As best friends (obviously), we write, produce, and perform comedy that’s absurd, heartfelt, and deeply unhinged.
Our MISSION
We believe art saves lives, and in humor, there is healing—a giggle can go a long way. Our mission is to create, collaborate, and build community, using comedy as a force to empower and inspire. Through humor, authenticity, and the power of friendship, we aim to make an impact—one laugh at a time.
As actors and producers in PDX for over a decade, we’ve wrestled with the challenge of fitting into boxes that were never made for us. Instead, we choose to break them. We aim to challenge the status quo, embracing big feelings with authenticity and care. We’re not afraid to dive into the dark—and go all in at 110%.
More is More
“Your production truly helped inspire me in a way that was completely evolutionary for my artistic journey, it helped lead me down the path that has found me directing and producing.”
