Sarah Jenkins

You might know Sarah Jenkins best as a writer and performer on “The Mystery Hour,” a once-syndicated late night talk show based out of Springfield. But her work has reached far past her roots. A “Mystery Hour” skit she stars in, “Instagram Husband,” has more than 7 million views on YouTube. Her love of comedy traces back to childhood. She says she’s drawn to the connection a shared laugh brings. Her art, and improv especially, has helped her personally, too, by helping her face a lifelong struggle with perfectionism. By day, she’s also an advertising writer, and in 2022 took a chance on herself and began freelancing full time. In this episode, Sarah talks about how the past few years have been full of change and how she’s learning to embrace what’s next.
