Jess - Founder of Jolly Old Time
Jess has been singing and dancing ever since she can remember and in 2017 she began her professional training in Musical Theatre at London Studio Centre.
Since graduating, Jess has been involved in many touring productions and pantomimes! However, alongside her love of musical theatre, Jess has a huge desire to bring joy and love to anyone who needs it! Whether it be sitting having a cuppa, playing a game or singing someone's favourite song, Jess will do whatever she can to bring a smile into anyones day! Over the years she has also gained a wealth of experience within various care environments; including care homes, nursing homes and SEN learning and care centres.
In 2022, Jess decided that she didn't want to choose between her two favourite things anymore and this is where her new venture of Jolly Old Time Entertainment began - taking her love of performing and sharing it with anyone who has the desire to see, hear and feel it!

Their most recent adventure took them to China, where they spread Christmas cheer to everyone at Universal Beijing Resort as Mrs. Claus in a musical called The Gift of the Season.
Before that Ina toured the North of Italy and the UK with various companies and even tested their sea legs onboard Brittany Ferries. Ina's most prominent roles include Lady Macbeth (Macbeth), Mr. Utterson (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde), Swing (Christmas Carol), Sally Bowles (Cabaret) and Helen Bechdel (Fun Home).
Ina is passionate about making theatre accessible to all demographics and as a result, following a wonderfully successful May with the Jolly Old Time Entertainment Team performing Pack Up Your Troubles, Ina is incredibly excited to now be offering Dementia Choirs and other themed shows throughout the year!
