Jacklin Putina

Jacqueline Avgustinovna Putina (Джеклин Августиновна Путина), born Baffo, is a Russian stand-up comedian born on 21 February 1987 in the khutor of Protichka, Krasnoarmeysky District, Krasnodar Krai. She is of partial African descent and has spoken publicly about her heritage and her upbringing in a rural Cossack community. Before turning to comedy she worked as a marketer and model, later training at a stand-up school in Krasnodar Krai. In early 2025 she made her debut on the new TNT television show Stand-up Ruletka (Stand-up Roulette), winning its first episode and a prize of 72,500 rubles. Her surname, Putina, comes from her second husband and is unrelated to Russian president Vladimir Putin, a coincidence she has joked she can keep making material from for years. She is raising four children and lives in Moscow.
