Jesse Larios

I’m Jesse, a Chicago-based writer, director, and producer working across sports, comedy, and culture.

 

I started in comedy, writing sketch, performing improv, and studying joke writing and structure. That foundation shaped how I think about ideas and storytelling.

 

I later broke into advertising as a copywriter without going to portfolio school, developing campaigns across TV, radio, and digital in both English and Spanish.

 

Today, I work across production and post on freelance projects ranging from sports and branded content to documentary-style work, including content for teams like the Chicago Bulls.

 

I focus on strong ideas and bringing them to life.
