Jenni was born and educated in Scotland before venturing south to gain a BA (Hons) in English, French and Italian from Durham University. She then hung about in the North East a bit longer in order to gain an MA in Scriptwriting from Newcastle University. She started writing and performing sketch comedy whilst at Durham, then took up stand up during her MA and spent three years performing the two around the UK and at the Edinburgh Fringe. She writes radio and television sketches and sitcoms and writes, edits and performs her own comedy shorts, which can be found here:

Then she has a sandwich and a sleep and does it all again the next day. In 2008 she was a finalist in E4 Radio's search for new comedic talent in their Radio HaHa scheme.
