About Jen
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 back-to-back Winner of NPR's Snap Judgement Comedic Performance of the Year Award for her Girl Scout Cookie Caper story which went viral upon its release, and the next year for her story titled Nana Vs. OJ which got almost a million views!
Jen appeared on Netflix in 2019 as she joined the cast of two of its original shows. Including RuPaul's sitcom AJ & The Queen and Dead to Me. Jen had audiences rolling in the aisles on The Righteous Gemstones on HBO, played a no-nonsense detective in The Purge on USA Network, and was a wacky science teacher in Diary Of A Future President on Disney+
In 2021 Jen 's momentum continued with a recurring role on American Horror Story, a guest star on Showtime's Black Monday with Regina Hall and Don Cheadle, and a Season 2 regular on Apple TV's new queer sitcom, The Browns. Jen was also featured in Audible's Pride Special, Owning It. 2022 started off with a bang as Jen booked a hilarious guest starring role on the CBS sitcom How We Roll starring Pete Holmes and Katie Lowes, and a quick appearance with Jean Smart on the acclaimed HBO series Hacks. In 2023, she appeared as Sheriff Linda Lawless on the Disney Channel's hit series Bunk'd.
