Jordan E. Cooper
Jordan E. Cooper is the kind of multi-hyphenate you really wanna keep tabs on. The dude’s got range. One minute he’s tearing up the stage in his own show, the next he’s cranking out a short film that pops up in National Geographic. Not bad, right? Ain’t No Mo’—that’s his play—sold out its run and even got the New York Times’ stamp of approval as a Critics Pick. People couldn’t get enough. Then he drops “Mama Got A Cough” during the pandemic, and boom, it makes the NY Times’ Best of 2020 list. That’s not luck, that’s talent.
He doesn’t just do theater, either. Jordan’s got his hands all over TV too. He cooked up “The Ms. Pat Show,” a wild, raw, R-rated sitcom that throws it back to those old-school vibes but with a modern, unfiltered twist. It landed on BET+, so you know it’s got some edge. Oh, and if you were glued to FX’s Pose? You might’ve caught him popping up as Tyrone in the last season—just slipping in, leaving his mark.
His work keeps popping up everywhere, and honestly, it’s no shock he landed a spot as one of OUT Magazine’s “Entertainers Of The Year.” The guy just doesn’t quit, whether he’s writing, acting, producing, or probably coming up with his next big move while the rest of us are still figuring out what’s for lunch. Jordan E. Cooper’s the real deal—bold, creative, and not afraid to shake things up.
