Opening Act

Jeannette Orr is a storyteller first and a comedian second, and she's got the material to prove it. Over the years she's designed commercial interiors, trained horses as a competitive equestrian, taught people to ride motorcycles, and run dogs through agility courses. Each of those worlds came with its own cast of characters, near-disasters, and punchlines.

Two years ago, Jeannette wandered into the Flemington DIY Women's Comedy Open Mic, met Megan Henninger, and caught the standup bug for good. Now she brings her stories to open mics across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, also hosting the comedy open mic at Dharma Bums Bar on the second Wednesday of every month.
