JENNY
Jenny describes herself as extremely corny because she laughs at her own jokes. She's also a Taurus sun / Capricorn rising who is always BEAT for the gawds! Her limited grasp of American slang and pop culture references make her a HOOT when she performs improv comedy.
When she's not performing improv or sketch comedy with Lemon Pepper & Sazón, you can find her throwing up the peace sign, going to town on some bomb ass food, caring for her fur baby Ginger, and smiling her way through the depths of her internal pain.
TED
CORNISTA
Ted is a stand-up comedian, military veteran, and wrestling enthusiast who's always down to clown around. We love him because he runs most of our show tech!

-
Former Women’s World Wrestling Wrestling Tag-Team Champion.
-
