Biografi
Jamie Alcroft has entertained audiences for over 25 years as one half of the comedy duo Mack & Jamie. Less than two years into their partnership, they received a call from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Their rapid-fire routines had the audience roaring with laughter, earning them an immediate invitation to return.
Their TV appearances, including this one, led to their own syndicated series in the 1980s, Comedy Break with Mack & Jamie, during which they recorded 125 half-hour episodes in under a year.
Recently, when they appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jay praised them, saying, "When comedians talk about comedy teams, Mack and Jamie are at the top of the list. They are the funniest duo working today!" They perform regularly at corporate events and are favorites on cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Crystal, and Holland America.
Jamie also hosted a cooking show pilot called Eat This!, featuring guest comedians and produced by P.A.T. (Sajak) Productions. Kevin Nealon, known for SNL and Weeds, appeared as a guest on the pilot.
Together with Mack, Jamie recently produced and co-wrote a comedy CD titled Extreme Channel Surfing, which enjoys frequent airplay on Sirius and XM satellite radio.
He shares a CLIO Award for writing and performing with his comedy partner, Mack Dryden.
Jamie is also a distinguished member of the LA voice acting community, having contributed numerous voices to national commercials, The Simpsons, Rugrats, Powerpuff Girls, Justice League, Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights, and many video games, including Gears of War I & II.
He resides in Westlake Village with his Emmy Award-winning wife, ice choreographer Sarah Kawahara, and their children: Hayley, 16, a songwriter and member of Sony/BMG recording artists The Stunners; Thatcher, 14; and Alysse, 21, who lives in New York City pursuing a career in musical theater.
