Jenna Brister
Jenna grew up in the woods just south of Seattle, going to hockey games with her spy dad and wearing various animal costumes made by her lord-of-the-sewing-machine mom. Her childhood dream was to be a jockey, but quickly changed her mind when she saw a petite man become paralyzed in a race-gone-bad.
She impulse-bought two baby Peking ducks in college, and raised them in her dorm room. The Linfield College feds still have no idea (I love you, Zanzabar). She's addicted to iced green tea and knows every "relation" that's ever happened on all ten seasons of 90210 (and mapped it out with her sister on an entire wall in their childhood home).
In her leisure time, Jenna can be found riding around the park or down Broadway on her Schwinn cruiser, prank-calling strangers, or LOLing in her apartment. She has made several failed (though well-intentioned) attempts at veganism. She currently lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and likes eating at Grey Dog and slow dancing with her hot boyfriend.
She performs with the improv group The Consulate, and is a student at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.
Lots of Jenna's stories come from her four years spent at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon.

Ashley Harrell
Ashley remembers thinking when she was a kid, "wow... I bet it would be fun to make people laugh as your job." While she still doesn't make it her primary income, she's thrilled to be a part of the vivacious comedy community in New York. Originally from California, she moved to NYC to get into musical theater and opera... and somehow ended up getting addicted to Upright Citizens Brigade!
Some trivia:
Ashley's first time getting intoxicated was at age 16 off Strongbow Cider at a bar called Trinity Pub in Rome (2 pints), she had her very first kiss at age 18, her first boyfriend at age 20, and well... the list goes on. Awwww.... let the pity slash hilarity ensue!
Non-profit director by day, Ashley spends her evenings maintaining the dork-status she has perfected by performing with the musical improv group, Zamboni! She is so very excited to create Fireside with Jenna!
