THE SHEET MUSIC SOCIETY
Writer/composer/lyrist Kip Dennis chose Comedian/singer JOAN JAFFE to sell his song “What I’ve Got on You.” Playing
Herald Tribune gossip columnist Azalia (don’t mess with her!). JAFFE looked the part in a large hat, sack dress, and oversized beads
hung down to her waist as she met her interviewee who she warned: “Don’t
try to be illusive, ‘cus I got my exclusive.” Here was a tour
de force, with clever writing and perfect casting.....well received, and
deservedly so, thanks not only to fine writing, but to strong performances.

REVIEWS
FROM "THE GEORGE M. COHAN REVUE"
Special
mention going to Joan Jaffe filling the role of Cohan’s Mother...Joan
Jaffe brought her own style into the act with a touch of Merman and a
dash of Channing.
Sam Oglesby - THEATER SCENE
FROM "CHARGE IT PLEASE!"
Joan
Jaffe shines in all of her roles, switching accents, wigs and costumes
with the teasing ease of a magician.
D.J.R. Bruckner - THE NEW YORK TIMES
Joan
Jaffe plays a succession of Anglos, with versatility and great comic abandon.
Howard Kissel - DAILY NEWS
Joan
Jaffe fills a variety of roles amusingly...Jaffe shines in her biggest
role, Mrs. Wallace Warner Howard of Dallas, who meets Juanita at Saks...they
have a wonderful romp.
Alieen Jacobson - NEWSDAY
No fewer than 9 roles are played by Joan Jaffe, mostly to good effect...and
only Jaffe seems to have a trained singing voice.
Evan - VARIETY
REVIEWS FROM "BYE, BYE BIRDIE"
Joan
Jaffe asserts herself as Alabert’s mother, Mae. Mae personifies
the ironic American Jaffe executes this character with notable dexierity,
resisting the opportunity to overtake the production, as she overtook
Albert’s life.
Erin Thomas Wilson - THE MUSKEGON CHRONICLE
Joan
Jaffe, as Albert’s pushy mother, delivers her irritating comments
with just the right finesse.
Sue Merrell - THE GRAND RAPIDS PRESS
COMEDY REVIEWS AND QUOTES
Joan - Funny is funny and you are funny -
Freddie Roman
The Toyota Femmes lineup included seven to ten minute sets from extremely
funny females, (including) JOAN JAFFE, who was preparing for her appearance
on Comedy Central’s, “Viva Variety”.
Toyota Comedy Festival RecapMaryAnn
Pierro - Comic Times
One of the “hot” takes in July was The New Variety Show...and
funny lady Friar Joan Jaffe (was) one of the performers. One of her lines:
my back goes out more than I do...
Jerry Coe - E. 55 Street Beat - New York Friars Epistle
Friar Joan Jaffe confessed to learning comedy after being a dancer, her
explanation, “I had toe shoes with Dr. Scholls.” Ms. Jaffe
gave a solid interpretation of It’s Not easy Being Green.
