About Me
Note: Before you decide to commit to the friendship here at Comic Mummy headquarters, you really should click here.
Well, hey there…YOU!
My name is Jenny, but now that we’re friends, you can call me “Jen.” Or “lady”. Or “you”.
I’m a comedian, cabaret performer, improviser, traveller, wife, utter unabashed showpony and mother of three.
In other words, I divide my life between strutting around onstage like the egomaniac I am, dolled up and trying to win the love of complete strangers…
…and wrangling kidlets, looking gloriously unkempt while doing so, usually covered in eight different brands of breakfast cereal and/or looking like a mushroom defiantly growing in a giant pat of cow-shit.
Here at club Comic Mummy, I blog about my adventures in carving out a career on the stage while wrangling those delightful little dumplings of blood, sweat and tears and yes, awesomeness: my kidlets.
I also have a one-woman show called “An Unexpected Variety Show” which I love dearly and is currently doing the rounds of the Aussie festival circuit, with whispers of bringing it abroad soon too. People have said nice things about it. It’s won an award and stuff. If you’re around, you should totally come see it and we can clink glasses or at least acknowledge each other with a mutual eyebrow lift.
So, how you’ve stumbled upon here I’m not sure.
Perhaps you’ve seen me perform and simply had to find out what that ball of nuttiness you saw on stage actually comprised.
Perhaps you’re a long lost friend I recently reconnected with on Facebook and you are researching me in that ‘wow, where are they now?’ or ‘I cannot wait to track her down and boil her bunnies’ kinda way.
Or perhaps you were simply procrastinating at work by googling things like ‘ball of nuttiness’ or ‘boil her bunnies’.
Either way, please, play around and make yourself at home. Not necessarily in that order. Whatever works. See how completely flexible and easy going I am?
Rock.
Jen. xx
So who is this Jen person anyway?
Now, if I haven’t given you enough tittilating blather about myself, then from here you may embark on an adventure of the choose-your-own variety. You can opt for either:
-the professional bio, resplendant in all its oozy, gory detail; and/or
-the extremely unprofessional bio, seeping with all the brutality of a tortured youth.
If you’re still wanting more, then please. See a doctor.
Go forth!
xx






Awesome web site, all the best with the baby and performances!! J. from Finland.
Thanks Jani! xx
Hey Jen!
Just thought I’d say thanks for your old blog! Only found it today so Im reading through the whole thing (Im meant to be working, but this is WAAY more interesting)
In my rather cheesy English way, I just want to say thank you for giving me the confidence needed to actually get out and find some open mic spots. Ive googled my local clubs, so will be contacting them tonight! WOOP!
BYYEEE!!!
PS. Congrats on your pregnancy! (I did type “Well done” at first, but thats a bit weird, isnt it!?)
Oh wow, you’re so very welcome Kieran!! Go you good thang!
PS I LOVE cheese. In all its forms, including the written one. As you will soon realise if you hang out here very long!
Hello! I’m in the flying lesson class with you! I resonated w/your comment bout putting your prices up up and away and ridiculous enough get bought or sold (whatever your pleasure). It’s so true. weird but true.
I’m so glad I stopped by I love your tone and wit! Truthfully you had me at the bubbles! I loved reading, “seeping with all the brutality of a tortured youth.” Unfortunately, I relate to the tortured part & at times that part wants to scream, Ak, yeah, but no – more like brutality. I feel I had to spend my 20s healing my teens so I have catching up to do and doing it I am! No holds bar w/bubbles!
Hi Stephey, thank you so much for coming over! Love your blog, really amazing and so very inspiring. So much goodness coming out of this class already it’s quite overwhelming! Fantastic to meet you and look forward to connecting more. x
divine…….
Birth is like start of the film , death is like end of the film , life is to watch the film to know your role and my part.
you are in a lead role…..enjoy…
Thanks Ramo so much for stopping by here and watching my part unfold!
Jenny you crack me up! I’m now officially subscribing to you. Loved meeting you at the “single person table” at H&C’s wedding. I read my first blog (well to be specific…you wrote it…I read it…first = my first time to read a blog that you’ve already written) TODAY!
And for what it’s worth…I have a Facebook and a Fakebook! And only I choose who is worthy of which. Don’t let them get you down JW!
Big love and pixie dust.
Miss S.
Ooh, I love ya Sandra! Thanks for your gorgeous words, meeting you was an absolute joy at the wedding, so, so great. Hope all is rocking in your world! xx

Anika
Hi Anika, you lovely morsel of post Bondie goodness! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, really appreciate that and very cool to see you getting into plunging and all. Big hugs to you! xx
My goodness, you seem quite unique and humourous. Improvis a unique art form but the secret is to be over prepared. I am recently retired and have done some drama teaching and one woman comedy bits for community benefits/charities…in big demand because I’m free. Nice to meet you.
I am an Embarrassment of Lateness, in terms of replying to your lovely comment, please forgive me! I’m so crap at checking my comments on these pages, thank you so much. Lovely to meet you and hope all is going well with your comedy and teaching too! x
damn, I just commented on your old blog and then realised the post I found you on is four years old. so here I am, in the future, and you’re still awesome.
Haha, thanks for that lovely comment Ellie, on both blogs no less! You inspired me to go back and read what I’d written, thank you for stoking my narcissistic side, not that it needs much help. Big love x
Hi Jen, I’m sort of an old friend of the family – went to school with your uncle Doug and got to know your mum Diane. She was my first real girlfriend and we kept in touch over the years. I saw the photo of you and Di making cookies and the tears streamed down my face. (Not a good look at 63) Anyway I’m so glad to see you doing so well. I’m sure Dinie is so proud.
