“Ms. Gorelick is really onto something.”
Jenny Gorelick is a comedian, actor, writer, two-time Emmy-Nominated producer, and former Jersey girl, based in New York. She's been called an “ever-charming host” and "crushworthy comedian" by Time Out New York and her roster of high-production value, girly, and confetti-filled variety shows, pop culture commentary, and watch parties have been featured in the New York Comedy Festival, New York Times, Time Out New York, Paste, LAist, Thrillist, and more. She performs monthly at the Arlo Williamsburg in the Mirror Bar at her signature show Love, Sex, & Magic and weekly in the Water Tower Bar at Drenched. She hosts meme page @iamthirtyaf’s premier comedy show FUNNY AF. She’s appeared in the Edinburgh Fringe, Rogue Island Comedy, and Netflix is a Joke Festivals.
She's been featured in sketches for Late Night with Seth Meyers and Comedy Central, and most recently as an adoring fan of THE Che Diaz in And Just Like That. One time Keegan Michael Key said she was a "great improvisor,” and Taxi Tv’s Sandy Kenyon said she was “a star of tomorrow” in that voice of his - it was just like being in a taxi. On TikTok commenters say she looks 22, which is the perfect age to play teenagers on TV.
As a writer, her essays have been featured in the New York Times’ Modern Love column, Cosmopolitan, McSweeney’s, and the New Yorker Shouts & Murmurs. Her pilot, After D!sney, about former Disney child stars, is in the top 1% of comedy projects on Coverfly and has placed in competitions including PAGE, Screenfest, WeScreenplay, Filmmatic, and more. Her dating podcast with evidence, Receipts, with SNL's Devon Walker was featured in Vulture.
Her two-person comedy play, Billy & The Situation, a historical retelling of the period of time Billy McFarland (Fyre Festival) and Mike "The Situation" (Jersey Shore) were in the same federal prison, except for the parts she made up, has toured the country with sold out shows at Union Hall, Asylum NYC in the New York Comedy Festival, Caveat, Dynasty Typewriter in LA, and the Edinburgh Fringe.
(She went to Brown University and was the Operations Manager of the Tony Awards and was named a Woman to Watch on Broadway by the Broadway Women’s Fund, in case you came here from LinkedIn…)
[And she hosts the best virtual and in-person corporate trivia in the city if your office is looking for a fun time!]
