She was a writer and co-host of the BBC World Service podcast and radio show “Comedians vs The News”.

Jess recorded her first special, “Marriage of Convenience” as part of the beloved comedy duo “The El-Salomons” at the Just for Laughs Festival. You can watch it on Crave in Canada or HERE if you’re anywhere else!

Fun fact: before comedy Jess used to be a U.N. war crimes lawyer. The jury is still out on whether this was a good move.
