Coming Out Stories

Jenny's Voyage of Authenticity: From Woking to Manchester via the Comedy Stage


Listen Later

Imagine embarking on a voyage of self-discovery that doesn't truly begin until the age of 40. That's the  reality for Jenny, a trans woman with a tale that unfolds with laughter, adversity, and, above all, authenticity. As she reminisces about her childhood in Woking and the challenges of expressing her true identity pre-internet, Jenny's experiences from makeshift gender expression at home to her eventual powerful coming out in Manchester shine a light on the journey many in the trans community face.

For Jenny, the world of Drag was a haven that embraced her when she needed it most, but she soon realised that was not where she truly belonged and found her way to comedy. 
Jenny's story is a testament to the power of finding your tribe and the transformative effect of unconditional love. Yet, it's not without its heartbreaks, something she candidly shares, including the violent encounter that marred an early performance and the ongoing struggle for acceptance.

Step into the spotlight with Jenny as she stands tall in the world of comedy, using her wit to disarm hecklers and her compelling stories to carve out a space as a trans entertainer. Her upcoming Edinburgh show "Seahorse" promises to be a whirlwind of humor and honesty, reflecting the unique perspectives of her life. Prepare to be moved and amused!
