Jess has studied the Harold exclusively at ITC and has learned from the following great improv warriors: Wayne Molinski, Sean Magee, Alex Tindal, Sean Tabares and Kevin Patrick Robbins. Thus far, she has received instruction from Jill Bernard, Susan Messing, David Razosky and Andy Eninger.
Jess Grant was born in Perth-Andover, New Brunswick and grew up playing with imaginary friends beside the Tobique River until she was roughly 18 years old. She became interested in improv and theatrical performance while a student at Mount Allison University. From 2000-2003, Jess was part of Mount A.'s shortform improv troupe S.U.S.H.I. (Sackville's Underground Society of Housebroken Improvisers).
Dabbling in theatrical performance, she has performed in the London, Montreal and Toronto Fringe and is currently a member of the all-female performance group Flash Quiz.
Jess proudly performs with WDWMKR and Big in Japan.
