Send Me A BDay Video

I know a lot of you live far away and can not make my birthday show 4/11 (read all about it here). But I want so badly for all of my friends/family/followers to be involved with this show! SO I'm asking folks that can't make it to send me a video message instead. It could be why you can't make it, happy birthday wishes or really whatever your creative heart desires. I will show the most entertaining ones at the show. THAT'S RIGHT YOU COULD PERFORM WITH ME ON A REAL NYC STAGE! Virtually speaking of course. Here's some tips for your video...

  • make it entertaining - I know you have it in you
  • keep it short - under 30 seconds is good, it's the Internet after all
  • have fun - go nuts, really how many times in life do you NOT have someone telling you exactly what to do?

When your masterpiece is ready, or you're out of time and just don't care anymore, tweet me a link to @jenbloods using #jenbloods. Or if you don't have Twitter you can email the link to me. Videos needs to be received by noon 4/11 to be considered for the show.

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with and I can't wait to show a bunch of amazing videos at the show. I'm trying to get the show streamed on the Internet so your video could literally be seen by millions of people! Or at least my mom.

XOXO

April 2013 - Big BDay Show!

It's My BDay And You're Invited!

To celebrate my birthday this month, I am producing a show at The People's Improv Theater (The PIT) so I can play on stage with some of my favorite people - namely my improv teams Florence and Dam Science as well as my sketch team National Scandal. Whether we are friends, former colleagues, have taken a class together or we have performed together the only birthday present I want this year is for you to come to the show then us grab a drink and catch up at The PIT's Love bar afterwards! The show is 4/11 @ 7pm tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/355418

"Jen, I live far away and can't make the show, but still want to send you birthday wishes. What can I do?" Good question! As a way to involve my extended friends/family/followers in the show, I'm asking people to send me short videos saying why they can't make the show, birthday wishes, or really whatever you want. I will play some of the most entertaining ones during the show. YOU COULD PERFORM WITH ME ON A REAL NYC STAGE! Virtually speaking of course. Please tweet me a link to the video using #jenbloods. Or if you are not on Twitter, you can email it to me.

Also, I am looking into streaming the show on the Internet. This isn't 100% sure yet, so let me know if you'd like me to email you the info if/when I can arrange for this.

Sold Out Stand Up Shows

The stand up show I headlined last month SOLD OUT! I'd love to take all the credit, but we had an incredible line up of talent. The good news is we are doing it again later this month with all new material AND a very special guest headliner Jena Friedman (from Letterman and The Daily Show). Unlike most stand up shows that cost $20 plus a two drink minimum, this show is only $8 with NO drink minimum. The show is Sketchy Stand Up at The PIT Friday 4/26 @ 9:30. Get your tickets early as we hope to sell out again! tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/317587

March 2013 - I'm Headlining!

I’m headlining!

The big news this month is that I am headlining a stand up show TONIGHT 3/1 9:30pm at The People’s Improv Theater (The PIT)!  It’s my first time headlining so I’d love for you to come out and laugh at me. The show is only $8 with NO DRINK MINIMUM! The venue has a great bar though if you would like a drink.

Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/317587

Indie Cage Match

Another cool thing happening this month is my improv team Florence will be competing in an improve tournament called Indie Cage Match Sunday 3/17 7:30pm at UCB East. The winner is partially determined by audience vote, so it would be awesome if you came out to support me/team Florence. Three teams enter. One team leaves.

More sketch comedy than you can shake a stick at

My sketch team National Scandal is having a ridiculous amount of shows this month. In addition to our regularly scheduled shows (Tuesday 3/19 and Saturday 3/30 8pm at The PIT), we will also be putting on a special show called Waiting for God Knows What Wednesday 3/13 9:30 at The PIT. It will be a collection “less traditional” sketches. We are also hitting the road this month to perform at StageFEST in Jersey City, NJ. There will be lots of great live performances including National Scandal Friday 3/22 at 10pm and Saturday 3/23 at 3:45pm.
