Southern storytelling, accidental edibles, and kitchen pest control in Las Vegas.

Released , on YouTube.

Jen Kober frames her worldview around being a Southern Jewish lesbian with a Catholic school education, an identity combo that translates on stage into boisterous, conversational storytelling. Her anchor bit tracks an escalating feud with kitchen fruit flies, kicking off from an admission that she takes her household advice and world news directly from Facebook comments.

Taped at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the half-hour arrived in June 2024 via 800 Pound Gorilla Media. Kober was coming off an active run as a television character actor with roles on The Righteous Gemstones, The Mandalorian, and Hacks, while working the Vegas Strip as a resident comic in Cirque du Soleil’s Mad Apple.

The set sticks to self-inflicted chaos. She recounts run-ins with hometown neighbors in Louisiana, accidental overindulgence with California weed edibles, and the slow horror of watching ripe fruit surrender to an insect infestation.
