Hi! Welcome to my myspace. Or should I just say welcome to myspace? I don’t know, I’m completely sleep deprived and have children biting my calf muscles as I write this.
Soooo...about me, eh? Well, in short, I’m an Aussie comedian and mother-of-two who’s just packed up the entire family and set up camp in Canada for a while. Partly to get in on the comedy scene here, partly to get in touch with my inner rock-climber. She hasn’t emerged yet, but I’m still holding out hope.
I blog almost daily over at my ’other’ blog ’Comic Mummy’ (don’t tell this one, I don’t want things to get messy) and write a humor column for the local rag here in Canada. Now I feel like a bit of a tosser, so I’m gonna stop and hand it over to the official bio and let it do the tossing for me. Damn I love outsourcing.
Cheerio.
"...(I) am not exaggerating when I say that she possesses a rare quality: a combination of stage presence, wit, intelligence and honesty that I dont come across too often." - Michael Pollock, musical director of Second City LA, credits include The Drew Carey Show, The Tonight Show.
"...a funny, talented lady ...I hope that Brisbane appreciates what a treasure it has."
- Steve Kaplan, USA-based comedy coach and creator of HBO Workspace (produced, developed & presented Jack Black, Nathan Lane and Nia Vardalos)
"...a genuinely funny lady, very warm and a natural improviser...she explores motherhood in all it’s agonizing and bizarre comic glory...with a cheeky smile and a guitar." - LisaLamb.com
"...she will definitely go places." - Brisbane Reviews
Jenny is a stand-up comedian with a penchant for musical, improvised and character comedy.
In 2006 she was awarded a $15,500 Lord Mayors New and Emerging Artists Fellowship to travel to New York, Boston, Las Vegas & LA to train in comedy and improv with the prestigious Second City and more.
Over the past few years she has entertained audiences with her passion for musical comedy satirical and improvised - both locally, nationally and internationally. She was also Queenslands Runner-Up in 2005's Triple J Raw Comedy Competition.
Up until relocating to Canada, she co-presented the cultishly popular drive-time radio show "The Frog and Peach" on 4ZZZ with Alex Oliver. It killed time and brain cells - which seems a shame given she could use more of both.
You can find her real website here: www.jennywynter.com
...and her real blog here: www.comicmummy.blogspot.com
...and her real identity: actually, if you do see it, please drop her a line and let her know. Ta.
