Jenna Kim Jones
She's female, she's funny and she's also a Mormon, proving the Sistas theory that the LDS know how to jest. Jenna Kim Jones is a comedian and devoted tweeter with adoring fans all over the internet. A twitter follower recently tweeted, “With cartwheels & charisma, this heart breaker knows how to live; with a Diet Coke in one hand & a microphone in the other.” Jenna naturally assumes this tweet is about her. Born in Seoul, Korea she lived there for 8 years until moving to Provo, Utah. After 8 years in NYC, Jenna recently moved to LA. She's appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, sung numerous commercial jingles and performs regularly at some of the country's best comedy clubs and festivals. Though she's Mormon, Jenna is currently studying The Secret so that she can one day make it rain Skittles.
