  3. Homegrown Comedy with Jen Kober


Enjoy a night of laughs with the hilariously funny Jen Kober! Part stand-up comedian and part storyteller, Jen Kober is known for her musical, live performances, along with her work in TV comedies like Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Middle and Anger Management. Jen Kober is originally from Lake Charles, LA, and has energetically 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. Jen was the 2017 Winner of NPR’s Snap Judgement Comedic Performance of the Year for her Girl Scout Cookie Caper story which went viral upon its release earlier that year. Kober received the 2018 Comedic Performance of the Year for her latest story titled How I was Saved By Waffles. Along with her popular stand-up career, Jen Kober is a busy actress and can be seen on Netflix as a cast member on RuPaul’s popular sitcom AJ & The Queen and the Emmy Award-winning comedy Dead to Me. She’s also featured in HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones, Showtime’s Black Monday, and Disney’s Diary of a Female President. She’s just released a Pride Special on Audible and, of course, you’ll find her on NPR’s Snap Judgement.
