Ballad of a Lost Cat and Other Stories...

An original one woman show featuring theatrical shenanigans and very funny songs!

Ballad of a Lost Cat and Other Stories... is a warm and welcoming world of surreal character comedy and witty guitar-based numbers inspired by The Goons and the Ealing Comedies. Original ditties such as, 'You Make Me Steal Things', 'What Have they Done With the Children?', and the eponymous 'Lost Cat', intersperse with comic characters, in a mix of nostalgia and contemporary satire. From Katherine Hepburn on the school run to Noel Coward on Facebook marketplace, this is a comedy musical revue with original songs, intrigue, and a little bit of opera!

"You were brilliant Jenny. Jaw dropping " - Nick Helm

"Musical comedy joy! A comic songstress with delightfully insane, catchy, charming musical numbers. Mixes the worlds of music and comedy with a guitar, a golden voice and a twisted lyric or two!" - Paul Kerensa

“The most frequently requested performer to return to our shows. Jenny does it all. Her sense of comedic timing is impeccable. Seamlessly weaves punchlines into complex and whimsical musical arrangements. A joy to watch. Our audiences are never disappointed with Jenny on the bill” - Matt Burden, host Comedy Utopia.
