Denise Jena

I'm an L.A. based actress/writer/occasional podcaster. These are my things.

I lean towards the strange and unusual, whether it be comedy, drama, sci-fi, etc. I've written and performed in numerous sketch comedy shows in New Orleans and at festivals such as Second City's Diversity in Comedy Festival and the Dallas Comedy Festival. I moved to Los Angeles in the Fall of 2021 so I can focus on writing and acting for film and television.

My Things

Denise's Random Bullshit

Where the writings live. Free for now, new posts whenever I have something to say.

Infinite Noire

Infinite Noire is my podcast where myself and a guest discuss, in what is probably painstaking detail, a film that fits under the noir umbrella. Currently on hiatus.
