Welcome.

Hello! I'm Jen Nails. Thanks for visiting my website. And many thanks to all who came to see my solo comedy play, Lylice, which ran in New York last month at the Peoples Improv Theater. My book, Next to Mexico, is based on this show! Check out these great mentions and interviews I did about the show and the book:
