Performer
Jenny is an internationally award-winning comedian, cabaret performer, writer and mental health advocate.
She credits every good thing she does onstage to her passion for improvisation, and her great fortune to have trained and performed with some of the world’s most renowned improvised comedy teachers, including Second City (USA), Loose Moose Theatre (Canada), Gary Austin (founder of The Groundlings in LA) and more.
Honing her funny bone through a grief-riddled childhood, Jenny’s career in comedy (including a near half decade stint as a Clown Doctor) have set her on a mission to demonstrate the power of laughter to relieve pain and stress, and to improve mental wellness even, and especially, during dark times. Jenny is also the founder of Funny Mummies™ — an online community and producer of live comedy shows — which aims to improve mothers’ mental health through laughter.
