Jenn who?

Jenn Weeks, Jacksonville’s best local comedian! 

Although, She is not only a comedian but the official host of the LOL JAX Film Festival, creator of Comedy Cookout Jax and co-creator of Laugh-n-Lyrics. Weeks has traveled the country performing with some of America’s most beloved stand-up comedians. Her high energy, relatable material and stage presence pulls the audience in and keeps them there. 

When Weeks is not spreading laughter, she is spreading love. For the last 5 years, Weeks has hosted a charity/donation event called Blessing Bags. Every year, Weeks collects donations of travel-sized items such as socks, chapstick, deodorants, and kleenex to donate to the homeless community in Jacksonville. 

This is not the first year Weeks has been crowned best local comedian by the city of Jacksonville. Her city loves her just as much as she loves it.- Carmen Macri
