SIDE SPLITTING COMEDY - MOTHER OF A COMEDY NIGHT
Stand up comedian and serial mother Mandy Nolan presents a Mother of a Comedy night featuring Australia You've Got Talent's Semi Finalist Sandy Gandhi and Jenny Wynter, just returned from 2 years performing in the US.
Jenny returns with a sure fire show and a swag of complimentary reviews. This is one woman on a mission. Michael Pollock, musical director of Second City LA (the best comedy venue in the world) with credits that include The Drew Carey Show and The Tonight Show said: '(I)…am not exaggerating when I say that she possesses a rare quality – a combination of stage presence, wit, intelligence and honesty – that I don’t come across too often.'
Jen is one of Australia’s fastest emerging comedic talents, with a particular passion for musical, character and improvised comedy. For the past two years she has been based in North America, where she has toured her stand-up act throughout Canada with Yuk Yuk’s and has performed as a mainstage cast member with the world-renowned improv company Loose Moose Theatre.
In 2006 she was awarded a $15,500 Lord Mayor’s 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. In 2007 Arts Queensland awarded her another grant to attend the Loose Moose International School of Improvisation in Calgary and she was also offered an independent residency at the renowned Banff Centre, to work on her new solo show.
She has entertained audiences both locally, nationally and internationally. She was Queensland’s Runner-Up in the 2006 Triple J Raw Comedy Competition, while her full-length solo variety show Jenny Wynter is: SELF INDULGENT, combining stand-up, musical, improvised and character comedy, launched BrizImprovFest, Brisbane’s first improv festival in 2007.
Jen has written for ABC TV’s The Glass House, has performed all around Australia and the USA and has appeared on Brisbane’s 612 ABC, Tasmania’s Huon FM and Briz 31’s Cinema. Until jumping the ocean to Canada, she co-hosted The Frog and Peach, the cultishly popular comedy drive-time radio show on 4ZZZ.
Clear the canteen, comedy is on the menu.
