Hannah Jones (comedian) is a stand up comedian based in Denver, Colorado. After being homeschooled in a conservative, religious co-op, her irreverent takes on sex, dating, and gender politics are as original as they are deeply uncomfortable for her mother to hear.

She is a regular Woman About The Internet; her videos on Tiktok and Instagram have been viewed over 30 million times, where she is consistently, "shitting on the mother toilet", as they say. She has been featured on Netflix is a Joke Radio and Don't Tell Secret Sets. Her comedy has been written about in Denverite and Westword, and covered on Channel 7 News. She has been invited to open for Josh Gondelman, Atsuko Okatsuka, and Todd Barry. She is also a regular at the Denver Comedy Works, where she has hosted for juggernauts including Ari Shaffir, Dave Attell, and Aziz Ansari.

Above all of that, she holds the career defining title of the 2007 Fayetteville Christian Homeschool Chess Club's "Most Improved," and has been improving ever since.
