Jennie McNulty
The New England Blade named Jennie McNulty, “One of the premiere comedians in the country.” The Examiner called her an, “infectiously energetic, remarkably deft comic with a warm disarming style and some of the best improv skills in the business.” Her playfully sarcastic style wins over every crowd the moment she takes the stage.
Jennie’s comedy career has taken her all over the world, from entertaining troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe to the beautiful beaches and serene sea ports of the LGBT travel world with “Olivia” and “Atlantis” travel companies. You may have also seen her on NBC, Logo TV and in the films, "Lights, Freelancers Anonymous and the soon to be released, "Virgin of Highland Park." .
For over 20 years, Jennie has headlined Comedy Clubs and corporate events. She spent 6 summer seasons performing nightly in Provincetown, MA. McNulty has also produced and hosted the longest running monthly show at The Ventura Comedy Club and, for fun, Jennie played 15 seasons on a professional women’s tackle football team and is now their game day announcer.
McNulty, who has a Master's degree in Exercise Science, a BA Psychology and a lifelong love of sports, has melded all of these passions into “The InHouse Comedy Chat.” That ran throughout the pandemic. More than a talk show, it energizes your mind, body and spirit with funny monologues, celebrity guests and a walk on the beach that the viewer is encouraged to join in and walk along. Watch for the updated, revised, "out of the house" version, rebranded, "Chat and GO with Jennie McNulty" early spring 2022.
