Details

Jess Salomon is a Canadian comedian now based in New York, who has appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon."

Known for handling dark, sometimes dirty, and often political topics with a light touch she’s been invited to some of the world’s biggest festivals including Just for Laughs and the New York Comedy Festival where she recorded her debut album, “All the Best Choices,” with label, 800 Pound Gorilla.

Jess also performs as part of the beloved comedy duo, “The El-Salomon’s” with her wife Eman El-Husseini (@TheElSalomons). Their comedy special, “Marriage of Convenience,” produced by Just for Laughs is available on YouTube.

Fun fact: before comedy Jess used to be a U.N. war crimes lawyer. The jury is still out on whether this was a good move
