JEN KOBER's BIG FAT HOMETOWN COMEDY SHOW
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. Kobers original one woman show sUbcIty was the winner of The Directors 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 on HBO. In 2007 Jen appeared on Showtimes White Boyz in the Hood and Comics Unleashed. In 2008 Jen appeared in Jamie Kennedys new comedy documentary Heckler, was a featured comedian on Oxygens 25iest Celebrity Bad Girls Gone Good, and she headlined at over 280 colleges across the country. 2009 had Jen appearing on NESNs Comedy All Stars, and Kober taped a stand up special for MTVs LoGo Network that is airing now. 2010 has been an explosive year for Jen! On the acting front, Kober played villainess Muriel Ledger in the family feature film Cool Dog, and has a recurring role as a lawyer in the new HBO drama series, Treme. She will appear on Happy Endings on ABC and just landed a role on the hit HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm, not to mention a couple of upcoming film roles with stars Sam Worthington and Kevin Spacey.
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: Shes got to be our 21st Century Lucille Ball,and thats 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.
