Ep. 31: Jena Friedman
Wrestling Team
Beginnings

Where do creative people come from? On Beginnings, two fledgling comedians talk origins with professional creators and others just starting out, and hopefully answer their parents’ question, “What are you doing?”




Jena Friedman is a comedian and actor based in New York City. As a stand-up, she has performed all around the world, including at The Glasgow International Comedy Festival and SXSW. She was the female lead in the independent film American Florence, and her play The Refugee Girls Revue: A Musical Parody had a successful run off-Broadway. Also, in July, she became one of the newest writers on The Late Show with David Letterman. A few weeks ago, Jena came over to the Wrestling team apartment and chatted with us about stabbing fantasies, saving earthworms, Catholic ninjas, Willy Wonka’s freakout, delivering innovative solutions that endure, pizza cancer, Final Draft firing and Italian vanity projects.
