On this episode of Syracuse Side Hustles, meet Torrance Jackson, also known by his stage name, Mr. Jaxn. As a forklift operator for Empire State Container during the day, Jackson spends his 9-to-5 moving and sorting shipping containers. In his free time after work, he transforms into Mr. Jaxn and performs stand up comedy in front of live audiences in Syracuse and beyond. 

Mr. Jaxn got his start to comedy at The Funny Bone comedy club. With the support he receives from a local comedy group, Mr. Jaxn has had the ability to perform stand up and host in front of live audiences. He performs around Syracuse and has traveled as far as Albany to tell his jokes. He gets his inspiration from everyday life: the news, his nephew, and occurrences at the construction site.
