Meet Your Comedians

  • Jennifer Turbo

    Describing herself as a "Botox enthusiast" and "Fashion terrorist", Jennifer Turbo has rocked comedy venues since 2020. Her passionate views on beauty standards, parenting practices, and corporate culture will have you wanting to join her rampage against the tyranny of respectable society. A resident of New Orleans, in 2022 she won the Comedy House New Orleans "Joke of the Year" and "Roasters Choice" awards, and in 2023 was runner up for "Fools Gold Valentines Day Joke Competition". She opens for nationally-touring comedians when they perform in New Orleans and she'd love it if you complimented her shoes.

  • JQ Palms

    JQ Palms is the smartest "dumb blonde" in comedy. An accomplished comic in the art of stand up, improv, and musical parody, she is a one-woman entertainment empire! Audiences love her ditzy/witty banter and she just may turn you into a ukulele aficionado.
