Jenni’s acting work includes film, television, theatre and comedy – well, dang! What a show-off.
Her on camera credits include lead roles in independent features Pretty Good Friends and The Pull, appearances in webseries The Wedding Sisters, and The Y2K Bug, and a meta version of herself in indie film Free Of Thought.
She debuted her first solo-narrative play, Every House a Sliding Door, at the 2022 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. She is an ensemble member with The Big HOO-HAA and an active member of The Improv Conspiracy, writing and performing sketch and as a regular cast member of The Remix.
Her biggest claim to fame is once being described as “delicious” in a review.
