Jen Ives has been doing stand up comedy around London & the South Coast for 3 years, and in that short time has reached the finals in the Funny Women Awards 2019, been nominated for the Leicester Mercury Awards 2019, placed second in the Laughing Horse New Comedian Awards 2018 & placed in the finals for the 2NorthDown New Comedian Competition 2019. 

​

Jen is known for her often sideways look at what it means to be a trans woman in 2020, as well as mischievous takes on her family, gay rights, self image & whatever else is on her mind that day.

​

Jen performed a well received WIP show at the Brighton Fringe in 2019 (review here) and is set to do a new half hour split at Edinburgh this August. 

 

"Easy-going and gregarious with a touch of self-deprecation that adds to her confidence rather than detracts from it... great company" - Steve Bennett, Chortle.
