Jordan Jensen is a stand-up comedian and actor whose hour long comedy special, TAKE ME WITH YOU, recently debuted on Netflix and was praised by Decider as “a winning comedy debut that takes on femininity standards”.
Jordan headlines sold-out shows across the country and tours with Tom Segura. She amassed over a million followers across her social media platforms and has nearly 1.3 million views on her YouTube special. Jordan has built a strong digital following alongside her podcasts — co-hosting the fan-favorite “Bein’ Ian with Jordan” and hosting her own, “RIP Jordan Jensen.”
Jordan can be seen in Bradley Cooper’s feature IS THIS THING ON? for Searchlight starring Will Arnett. In 2025, Jordan was spotlighted in Deadline’s “The Future Of Funny: 15 Comedians Ready To Break Out In 2025″, following her earlier recognition in Vulture’s “Comedians You Should and Will Know”. She has appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central Features, Don’t Tell Comedy, Vice’s Super Maximum Retro Show with Chris Distefano and voiced the lead character in Adult Swim’s “The Elephant”. In 2021, she became the first female comic to win NY’s Funniest Stand-Up Award at the New York Comedy Festival.
On stage at the Comedy Cellar, or on screen, Jordan’s comedy blends raw storytelling with fearless honesty, pulling from her unconventional upbringing and experiences on the road.
