Jennifer performs stand-up in New York, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area- anywhere that will have her, really. She opened for comedian Jeff Applebaum last February at a sold out show at the 300-seat Downtown Theatre in Fairfield, CA,. She wrote for, and hosted the 2017 Arty Awards (honoring theatre in Napa and Solano Counties) on the very same night as the Emmys. In other words, she's basically Stephen Colbert. She also recently performed at The Lady Laughs Comedy Festival in Wichita, KS, and has performed her stand up at The Belly Room @ The World Famous Comedy Store, Dangerfield's, The Broadway Comedy Club, and other fabulous spots like Kiabacca Bar, The Village Lantern, Barney's Beanery and a good handful of demoralizing open mics.
Jennifer honed her improv and sketch comedy skills, writing and performing at The Groundlings and The Second City in Los Angeles. She's created a number of original characters, who often appear in her stand-up sets (and who occasionally "open" for her, as well as for various rock-n-roll bands, including The Help feat. Barbara Menendez, and The Green Demons of New Orleans.)
Jennifer appeared as "Esther Feinberg" in the ABC Television remake of "Dirty Dancing", playing bridge (with Debra Messing and Katey Sagal) and cutting a rug with her husband "Leon" (played by the dashing Michael Lowry.) Though the final edit features mainly her Jersey dialect and the back of her beautifully coiffed head, there are many other opportunities to see Ms. Schemke's full visage.
Jennifer also guest starred on Brandon Rogers' Magic Funhouse as "Mama Gladys" in Season 2 episode "The Farmhouse", She also makes frequent appearances in other Brandon Rogers productions as "Mary Potter" in "Darlene is Spiritual"
Jennifer Schemke is a Bay-Area native. She holds a BA and MFA in Theatre and Acting from San Francisco State and DePaul University in Chicago, and is a graduate of the Tom Todoroff Conservatory in New York City.
