Stand-up comic, author and mom of six, Jen Fulwiler will bring her comedy show to the Scherr Forum at 7:30 p.m. Fri., Sept. 23 at 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd.

Fulwiler was the host of the daily talk radio Jen Fulwiler Show on the national SiriusXM network. When she launched her own podcast, This Is Jen, it debuted in the iTunes Comedy Top 10.

She has been featured on The Today Show and CNN. Her standup comedy special, The Naughty Corner, is on Amazon.

Her first book, Something Other than God, a memoir about converting to Catholicism from lifelong atheism, was a finalist in the Goodreads Reader Choice Awards.

Her book One Beautiful Dream was a Wall Street Journal bestseller, hit the Amazon Top 25 and was a No. 1 bestseller at Barnes & Noble. Her newest title, Your Blue Flame, was featured on The Today Show.

For years Fulwiler has been a speaker for Catholic conferences and events. Additionally, she spent five years as a radio host for the Sirius XM Catholic Channel, and she found that her listeners enjoyed her show more when she used humor.

Fulwiler started dabbling in stand-up in 2018, doing open mic gigs at clubs in Austin, Texas, where she lives. In 2020 she started pursuing comedy full time with funny takes on motherhood and modern life.

Tickets are $40, available from Ticketmaster at (800) 745- 3000, or online at ticketmaster.com, or through the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza box office.
