Hello!
See below a podcast recorded with Marcus Reeves featuring me and Tricity Vogue, each of us plugging gigs etc... I sang a couple of songs...Skinny Jim and the song without a proper name..neither of which were on here. Was a lot of fun to do. Was almost like being on the radio! I'm on at about 09.50 for chat and Skinny Jim and 15.48 for the other song..

JENNY'S TIME OF THE MONTH: My monthly night at Native Tongue in Epsom is no longer for a while due to budget restraints at the venue in these credit crunched times.. hopefully it will be back with some really great acts and a slightly new format. I will let you know of any developments...(click me with the knitting bag below for updates)

I am busy writing new songs, newest one called 'Nothing's Changed'...inspired by some recent channel hopping disappointment.
I haven't played as many gigs as I could be mostly because I am so busy with Funsense but there are a few coming up...next one currently being 12th February For Matt's Comedy Club in Worthing.
*Randomness*
...And yes I was on the Culture Show in the Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo bit..incase you were wondering...only in the audience but managed to take up about 2 minutes of screen time rambling on about how a bodyguard character in Abba The Movie is now Lou Carpenter in Neighbours... I'm sure there were people there with far more culturally helpful facts who didn't have their contributions shown. Oh well. I'm so sorry about that.
Had the pleasure of Ellie Lawson's music recently where she introduced her last song and said it was called, 'Stuck to my guns'. I thought she said it was called 'Stuck to my gums' and was immediately expecting her to sing about things that stick to your gums, like popcorn and cornflakes...but no. This is not what she was singing about at all.

Jenny's Biography bit...IMPORTANT DATES
30th March 1981……Jenny was born. Quite an important date really. 30th March 1982…...Jenny has her first birthday, 30th March 1983……Jenny has another birthday. 30th March 1984……Jenny…..just stop it.
WHAT DOES JENNY DO?
Jenny likes singing songs that make people laugh. She also likes singing songs that make people go 'mmmmm' in a contemplative and happy kind of way. Sometimes people give her money. Whether it is money to keep her singing , money to buy a cd or money to make her be quiet is of no consequence. It is still money.
She is based in Epsom, Surrey but has travelled all over performing her songs.
AND WHAT STARTED ALL THIS OFF THEN?
Jenny loves music hall and variety and when she was nowt but a lass spent a lot of her time in the Stepping Out Amateur Revue Company singing old time music hall songs which got her involved in all kinds of fings. It all started with her skill for entertaining the crowds with beautiful renditions of ‘Little Dick’ and ‘The Marrow Song’ which involved a large green vegetable and a lot of imagination....basically she loves performing and has been lucky enough to present her own material sharing theatrical bills with Will Self, Adam Buxton, Chris Green, Dylan Moran, Tim Vine, Paul Kerensa and Shazia Mirza...
WHAT INTERESTING PLACES HAS SHE PLAYED?
Rosemary Branch Theatre, Bradford Alhambra, The Priestley, Pleasance Theatre London, the Rutland Pub Hammersmith, Cheeky Chappies Comedy Club Leicester Square, people's back gardens, The Harlequin Theatre Redhill, shopping centres, The Space on the Isle of Dogs, 'You must be stoking' at The Stoke Pub Guildford, The Garabaldi pub in Redhill, Freedom of Expression, London Palladium, Poetry Shack, The Komedia(Birthday Club), Orange Tree Theatre, Monkey Business Comedy Club, Edinburgh Festival, Vauxhall Griffin, Hoxton Hall, Birmingham Gay Pride, school classrooms, living rooms, her own bedroom, people's worst nightmares and other places......

DOES SHE HAVE A CD?
Yes, it's called Fluff and contact her if you want a copy. Its only £7 including postage and packaging or £6 in person! You can also order it online by clicking on the fluffy belly button below...
Tracks on this cd are:
Skinny Jim

She needs to make another one as she's got more songs now and they need a home.
DOES SHE HAVE A MAILING LIST?
Yes she does and you can get yourself on it by contacting her through this site or emailing [email protected].

BOOKINGS
Jenny is available as an act for parties and gigs, conferences, school fetes etc where she will sing to entertain whoever is there. Her rates are very reasonable so if you want something a bit different, contact her...RANDOM HAPPENINGS
Jenny once did an audition for the Sooty show. Yes, she had her hand up Sooty himself. And Sweep. She was star struck. All day.
OTHER STUFF GOING ON
When she isn't doing gigs, Jenny is busy working for different arts companies delivering theatre workshops, and for her own company, Funsense Theatre. She is currently artist in residence with Funsense, at Gosden House School in Guildford.
