 p\;is a writer and comedian who claims to have quit being a people pleaser
 \, but let’s be real—she’s still saying “yes” to things she hate
 s. These days\, she’s hard at work perfecting her resting bitch face—j
 ust kidding\, she still smiles at strangers in grocery stores like a weird
 o.</p><p>When not performing around Europe\, Jess is the author of Substac

 \;spent many years suppressing her comedic talent inside a full time corpo
 rate HR career. Finally realising that she's terrible with people\, in 202
 2\, she co-wrote a stand-up show and took it to Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
  This completely changed her life. She now only works part time in HR.</p>
 <p>Off-stage you will find Sharon VS gathering more material by raising a 
 teenager in Germany.</p><p>Sharon VS is a co-producer of Festrogen\, the L
 uxembourg-based comedy festival for feminists of all genders\, and a co-fo
 under of Random Things Comedy Cologne\, an inclusive open mic.</p><p><br><
 /p><p><strong>Mari Volar</strong>&nbsp\;is a comedian\, MC and event produ
 cer from Estonia. She can often be seen on stage in various cities across 
 Europe\, where she performs as an independent comedian\, or hosting comedy
  events with her various comedy collectives. Mari proudly brings more femi
 nism into her comedy and more comedy into her feminism\, creating a over-t
 he-top mix in both that simply cannot be missed. She is a co-founder of Fe
 strogen.</p><p><a href=\"https://marivolar.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferre
