About the Artist

Jenny Eclair has been a stand-up comic for donkeys’ years. She was the first woman to win the coveted Perrier Award at the Edinburgh festival in 1995 and hasn’t stopped banging on about it ever since.

Well known for her starring role on BBC1’s Grumpy Old Women which ran for three series and was then adapted into four live shows touring across the UK and Australia, all of which Jenny co-wrote and starred in. Continuing her partnership with Judith Holder, producer of Grumpy Old Women, Jenny co-hosts the podcast Older and Wider the podcast for people who don’t know what a podcast is, a weekly ramble about life, with additional swearing. Jenny was a contestant on series 15 of Taskmaster (Channel 4) and currently hosts the spin off podcast Taskmaster: The People’s Podcast. She is also the writer of the much-loved BBC Radio Four Little Lifetimes monologues which ran for seven series.

Jenny is also a critically acclaimed author with seven novels, a collection of short stories and a number of non-fiction books under her belt, the latest being Older and Wider – A Survivors Guide to the Menopause.
