BIO

JEN KWOK is a delightful ukulele comedian who loves to entertain you! Armed with a velvety
voice and razor-sharp wit, Jen’s unique performance style flips stereotypes and takes a twisted
spin on everyday life. In college, Jen triple-majored in business, but traded in spreadsheets for
punch lines after being named a national finalist in NBC’s Stand-Up for Diversity.

Since then, Jen has been profiled by The New York Times, PBS, and MTV, and her viral web
videos – including the much loved, yet mildly controversial “Date an Asian” - have pulled in
over 3 million views. Her music video, “Take You Home”, was featured on Comedy Central.
Jen also made her film debut this past summer in “Eat, Pray, Love”.

Based in New York, Jen performs everywhere from “classy” venues like Highline Ballroom and
Gotham Comedy Club to bawdy basement burlesque shows and college campuses.  A prominient
member of the Asian American performing community, Jen hosts PBS’ Asian America and the
Asian-American Writer’s Workshop’s Open Mic series.  As a writer, Jen’s work has also appeared
on Marieclaire.com, VH1.com and TV Grapevine.

Whether on camera, online or in person with her uke, Jen Kwok will charm the heck out of you.
