| Jen Kober |
Once upon a time, in a bayou far, far away...
Originally from Lake Charles, LA - Jen Kober has
bounded onto the national stage bringing crowds
to their feet with her original blend of stand-up,
story telling, and improvised rock-n-roll comedy.
Her hard-hitting hour is phenomenally funny as
Kober commands the stage and dares you not to
laugh.
Classically trained at The Theatre School of
DePaul University in Chicago, Jen Kober is also an
accomplished actress. Kober’s original one
woman show sUbcIty was the winner of The
Director’s Choice Award at The Kennedy Center
Theatre Festival. She has studied improv at both
Second City and Improv Olympic, and Jen has
toured successfully with her improvised one
woman shows, JUNK IN MY TRUNK and MY BIG
FAT COMEDY SHOW. In 2006 Jen was the Runner
Up in the MySpace Stand Up/Sit Down Comedy
Challenge which aired on both TBS and as part of
Comic Relief 2006 on HBO. In 2007 Jen appeared
on Showtime’s White Boyz in the Hood Lifetime’s
improvised sitcom Love Spring International and
Comics Unleashed. She was also the host of Up
For Laughs on TBS sponsored by Sierra Mist.
In 2008 Jen appeared in Jamie Kennedy’s new
comedy documentary Heckler, was a featured
comedian on Oxygen’s 25iest Celebrity Bad Girls
Gone Good, and she headlined at over 180
colleges across the country. 2009 already has
Jen appearing on NESN’s Comedy All Stars on
June 5 and her DELICIOUS TOUR will be playing
at colleges and comedy clubs all year. Most
recently Kober taped a stand up special for MTV’s
LoGo Network that is airing now. She also has a
stand up set airing now on Comedy.TV, and
Kober played villainess Muriel Ledger in the
upcoming family feature film Cool Dog.
Leslie Berman of The SWLA Times writes, "Kober
is one of the most talented comics of our time. I
have been betting on her to find her niche and
go national since the first time I saw her. I
thought: ‘She’s got to be our 21st Century Lucille
Ball,’ and that’s no exaggeration. If you're twenty
years younger than me, think hipper Tracey
Ullman."
Jen Kober currently lives in Los Angeles, CA
where she continues to develop new material
and travel the globe spreading mass amounts of
laughter world-wide with both her stand-up and
improvised comedy shows. Jen loves Yoo-Hoo
and ranch flavored Corn-Nuts and wonders why
instant gratification takes so long.
