Jenna Ebersberger
is a writer and performer from Los Angeles, California. Jenna recently graduated with an MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU Tisch. During her last semester, she applied for an internship at Saturday Night Live, but instead, was offered a full-time position working as the researcher for Weekend Update's Graphics Department. Each week, she helped bring to life the visual punchlines while also contributing jokes!
Jenna has an extensive background in comedy. She is a proud alumnus of The Second City Conservatory in Chicago and was recently asked to join the infamous Groundlings Theater’s Sunday Company cast, which she will be starting in the spring. You can also catch her on the CBS sitcom Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage as Kelli!
Off stage, Jenna has worked in television as a showrunner/writers’ assistant for shows such as Star Trek Discovery and Tales from the Loop. Jenna’s writing consists of half-hour comedies and sitcoms that always include a messy, “difficult” female struggling to evolve. She focuses on the cocoon phase, believing that comedy is most successful when intertwined with a bit of darkness and a whole lot of a slapstick.
