Contemporary Curated New York: Meet Our Curators

By Sotheby's

Jill Kargman

A born and bred New Yorker, Jill Kargman is the creator, writer, producer and star of the scripted comedy Odd Mom Out in which she plays a satirical version of herself navigating the hilarity of raising children on New York’s Upper East Side. The show’s third season will air summer 2017 on Bravo.

Ms. Kargman attended the Spence School, the Taft School and Yale University. After graduating and working for magazines, television and movies, Ms. Kargman began writing novels to give her more flexibility to be home with her three children Sadie, Ivy and Fletch. She is a New York Times best-selling author of multiple books, most recently Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave, a collection of comedic essays published in September 2016 by Random House.

She made her Café Carlyle debut in January 2017 with her sold-out show Stairway to Cabaret ~ singing heavy metal songs ~ cabaret style.
