A 2008 nominee for “Best Female Comedian” by the Canadian Comedy Awards, Jen Grant got her start doing stand-up comedy in Ottawa, Ont in 1999. She moved to Vancouver, BC in 2003 and it was there that her career really started to progress.

In 2004, Jen did her first performance at the “Just For Laughs” Festival in Montreal. During one of her early ventures into the U.S., Jen used her comedic talents to break barriers... becoming both the first woman and the first Canadian to make it to the finals of the prestigious Boston Comedy Competition (2005). Jen was also a finalist at the “Great Canadian Laugh Off” (2007). She has performed at the Halifax Comedy Festival, the St. John’s Comedy Festival and the Vancouver International Comedy Festival with segments that have aired on television.

Most recently, Jen moved to New York City where she continues to impress and she is already a regular at Gotham Comedy Club, Governor’s Comedy Club, The Broadway Comedy Club and other major venues in the area. Jen’s half hour “Comedy Now” comedy special aired in September 2008 on CTV to rave reviews. She has recorded a segment three times on CBC radio’s The Debaters and has taped another TV spot in conjunction with the 2008 Canadian Comedy Awards Show!

All this and yet it’s just the tip of the iceberg...clearly, the future is very bright for this extremely talented and funny young lady!
