Jena Friedman

press release: Sharp. Witty. Political. No-holds-barred. Jena Friedman sets the standard for on-point comedic satire as seen through a current lens.

With a resume that includes field producer at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart; writer for the Late Show with David Letterman; Friedman delivers whip-smart feminist stand-up with a soft, searing voice. If one weren’t paying attention, Friedman’s one-liners could easily float above the crowd until one of those “Wait. What?” moments snaps the attention back and erupts into uncomfortable hilarity.

Friedman boasts the critically acclaimed stand-up special American C*** available on iTunes and the 2019 special “Soft Focus with Jena Friedman” on Adult Swim.

BroadwayBaby.com writes of Friedman’s stand-up, “Friedman speeds through an eclectic and tightly packed set, barely pausing for air. Her monotonous, sarcastic voice surveys the audience, taking no prisoners in a sinister and highly calculated performance. Neither the left nor the right were safe from her poisonous political jabs. She is brutal, rude and uncompromising and it is genius.”

Tickets for Jena Friedman are $25 and can be purchased online at www.stoughtonoperahouse.com or by calling the box office at (608) 877-4400, Tuesday-Friday, 9:00 am- 4:30 pm.
