In this episode of The Hang!, host Scott Saldinger sits down with Oakland-based comedian Jenny Roberts to explore the raw, unfiltered journey behind her fearless approach to stand-up comedy.

Jenny shares how her creative roots in singing, debate, and visual arts ultimately led her to the stage—where instant feedback and vulnerability became her greatest teachers. From bombing in front of crowds to headlining iconic venues like Cobb’s Comedy Club and Yoshi’s, her rise is powered by bold self-belief and unapologetic authenticity.

The conversation dives deep into how personal experiences shape her material, including turning grief, motherhood, and societal pressures into powerful, thought-provoking comedy. Jenny opens up about using humor as a tool for healing and why tackling difficult topics—like miscarriage and identity—matters more than ever.

Scott and Jenny also explore the realities of modern content creation, dealing with online criticism, and the freedom that comes from letting go of fear and external validation. With sharp wit and no shortage of honesty, Jenny reveals what it really takes to find your voice and own it.

If you’re curious about the intersection of comedy, creativity, and personal truth, this episode delivers insight, laughter, and perspective you won’t forget.
