Under Your Skin is an original solo show written by Jackie Smook and Jackson Zinn-Rowthorn. It tells the story of the time Smook worked as a medical assistant during her summer vacation, a job she never expected. She had no prior training and this, of course, caused utter chaos to ensue. This is a comedic telling, in real time, of her experiences told through standup, multiple original characters and song.

Originally planned to premiere at The Second City after its first preview at Davenport's Piano Bar before the pandemic, Under Your Skin has been updated for its March Davenport’s world premiere.
