Jordan Nicola Bridget Raskopoulos is an Australian comedian, actress, streamer and singer best known for her role as a writer and performer on the Network Ten sketch comedy show The Ronnie Johns Half Hour, and as lead singer for comedy rock group The Axis of Awesome (2006–2018). Her father is former footballer Peter Raskopoulos, and her brother is Steen Raskopoulos, a fellow comedian.
In 2003, Raskopoulos became involved with Impro Australia's Theatresports events including The Belvoir St Theatre Theatresports and the Cranston Cup competitions, winning State and National Titles. In 2005, she became part of the university sketch comedy supergroup The 3rd Degree who performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. This group formed the base of the Network Ten's Logie award-winning cult ensemble sketch comedy television show The Ronnie Johns Half Hour, in which Raskopoulos starred and for which she wrote.
After the success of The Ronnie Johns Half Hour, Raskopoulos went on to appear in Stupid, Stupid Man, Stand Up Australia, Hole in the Wall, Good News Week and Thank God You're Here, and has provided voices for the ABC2 machinima series The Team. She was a team captain for a season of the SBS sports show The Squiz. In 2007, her debut solo stage show was called The Adventures of the Man with the Dominant Claw. With her band The Axis of Awesome, Raskopoulos has appeared on Q&A, Good News Week and The Footy Show.
From 2006 until 2018, Raskopoulos fronted the award-winning musical comedy trio The Axis of Awesome, whose parody song "4 Chords" has received almost 64 million hits on YouTube and is one of the highest-rated comedy videos on the site. The group came to attention after the release of their songs parodying the 2007 Australian federal election and received a Moosehead award at the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival for their show The Axis of Awesome Comeback Spectacular. Since 2009, the Axis of Awesome have produced four albums and toured extensively in the United States, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia, with sold-out seasons at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. They broke up in 2018, after a temporary hiatus.
