- About The Author
- Stand-up comedian Jenny Eclair was the first woman to win the Perrier Award, the UK's top comedy award, in 1995. Since then, Jenny has taken multiple shows on tour around the country, most recently Jokes, Jokes, Jokes (the live version of her 'very funny' autobiography). Jenny is well known for her starring role on BBC One's Grumpy Old Women which ran for three series and was then adapted into four live shows touring across the UK and Australia, all of which Jenny co-wrote (with Judith Holder) and starred in. Continuing her partnership with Judith, producer of Grumpy Old Women, Jenny co-hosts Older and Wider, the podcast for people who don't know what a podcast is - a weekly ramble about life, with additional swearing. She is also the writer of the much-loved BBC Radio Four Little Lifetimes monologues which ran for seven series. Jenny was a contestant on series fifteen of Taskmaster (Channel 4) and currently hosts the spin-off podcast Taskmaster: The People's Podcast.
