Teaches at Magnet Training Center

Jamie Rivera is a performer, writer, and director residing in Queens, New York and has been studying comedy since the year 2000. In 2011, he performed aboard the NCL Star with The Second City while cruising up and down the Alaskan coast. Currently, Jamie performs regularly with long running ensemble, Junior Varsity, as well as on Friday nights with The Friday NIght Sh*w at Magnet Theater.
