Jess McLaren is comedian, mom, veteran, and engineer who blends dry menace, sharp observation, and deeply personal storytelling. She’s a big fan of the Oxford Comma. Jess McLaren is a clean comedian and public speaker with over 27 years in military and aerospace industries. She served in the US Navy for 22 years working in intelligence, flying missions over Iraq, Afghanistan, and other less hot and sandy places. She has an Electrical Engineering (BSEE) degree from American Military University and currently works as a Chief Architect at a prime defense contractor on satellite programs.

Jess riffs on autism, queerness, and the absurdity of modern life with a precise, understated style that sneaks up on you. Smart, dark, and disarmingly funny—she’s the comic who makes you laugh first, then realize why things happen.
