Hey, I need 5 bucks.

In 2021, we set out to do an incredible thing: a comedy special funded completely by fans, friends, and pictures of my butt. Well, three months later we did it and raised 30K to produce “Jen Z” (watch here). Filmed in 2021, it premiered on Comedy Central’s YouTube in 2023. It was a labor of love during crazy COVID times and couldn’t have been done without YOU.

And now, nearly five years later, we’re doing it again. With the ever-changing landscape of the entertainment industry, there is less and less reliance on big corporations to pick the future taste-makers. Art is now in the direct hands of the consumers and YOU choose what you want to see. That’s why I’m coming directly to the fans again and asking you to become a part of the next comedy special.

Afterbirth, the third (and perhaps final) comedy special from Jenny Zigrino, is all about starting over - but just because it’s new, doesn’t mean it’s not messy. Jenny recounts her move to NYC and what started it - love, loss, grief, and egg freezing. In this special, you’ll laugh, you’ll be astounded, you might even cry, but you will definitely know it was worth donating $5!

In order to make this special, I’m asking YOU the people for $5. That’s it. You can give more, but I just need 5 bucks. It’s cheaper than a comedy show, about the price of a decent coffee, and worth more than you can even imagine!

Your $5 doesn’t just fund this special - it creates JOBS. The film/TV industry has been hit hard and because of your contribution, we can hire local talent and give back to the entertainment community of NYC. Your 5 bucks says “f you” to the corporations who want to tell you what to watch. For the price of a cup of coffee, you get to make ART.

There are different ways to donate! You can give here in whatever amount you want. You can also head to my Substack for an ongoing donation of $5...or maybe you're a little spicy and want to donate at a spicy website.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this GoFundMe. Sometimes life doesn’t go the way you planned, but you still need to march onward towards the things that bring you joy. Maybe it’s a comedy special, maybe it’s this special, or maybe it’s a cupcake. Either way, thank you thank you thank you!
