Jess Salomon is a Juno-nominated* comedian and writer, who has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
She’s written for the award-winning sketch comedy show “Baroness Von Sketch” (IFC/CBC), CTV’s “The Beaverton”, and the BBC World Service podcast and radio show “Comedians vs The News” which she also co-hosted for three seasons.
Need some Jess Salomon right now? Well, you’re in luck! She has two specials on YouTube: “Marriage of Convenience” produced by the Just for Laughs Festival and “Sad Witch” produced by 800 Pound Gorilla.
Fun fact: before comedy Jess used to be a U.N. war crimes lawyer.
When she’s not writing and performing Jess likes to check in with her old colleagues in The Hague. She enjoys hearing how sad the war criminals are without her observational wit and storytelling to keep them going. She believes they are jealous of her comedy audience and regret what they have done.
