Jenny Matotek

Jenny discovered longform improv in 2010, and over the past year has studied at the Impatient Theatre Co. and iO Chicago with some amazing teachers, including Tim Baltz, Annie Bankes, Joe Bill, Matt Folliott, Sean Magee, Kevin Patrick Robbins, and Mark Sutton.

At ITC, Jenny has performed on the student teams Wet Work, The Big Open, and the all-girl sensation Betty. Jenny is also one half of the duo that is Big Coat (with Jameson Kraemer), a variable fraction of the troupe that is Airheart, and one eighth of the 2011 Cage Match Finalist team Surprise Romance Elixir.

When not doing or watching improv, Jenny makes videos and curates art and writes things and watches films and hangs out at places in pursuit of paper. She is president of the Board of Directors at Mercer Union, an artist-run centre.

Occasionally, she eats a lot of food in one sitting, and wants to sign something really important with several pens, and then hand out the pens to people in a meaningful way.
