Vannessa J.

I’m a WGA comedy writer, stand-up comic, and content creator with a background that spans network television, branded campaigns, and top digital media platforms. I’ve written for Saturday Night Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, A Black Lady Sketch Show, and A Little Late with Lilly Singh. As well as digital giants like E! News, BuzzFeed, and Bustle. Most recently, I wrote a national commercial and digital series for Major League Soccer starring Issa Rae, blending comedy, cultural storytelling, and branded strategy. Whether I’m writing for the stage, screen, or social, I know how to craft content that connects. I specialize in: • Comedy writing & punch-ups for scripts, pilots, sketches, and shorts • Branded content & commercial scripting (TV, YouTube, IG, TikTok) • Social video scripting (BuzzFeed-style listicles, voiceovers, influencer content) • Clever, on-brand copywriting for Gen Z/millennial-focused brands • Pitch decks, loglines & creative development With experience inside writers’ rooms and media startups, I know how to write fast, funny, and with purpose all while keeping voice, audience, and platform top of mind. Let’s turn your idea into something people actually want to watch, read and share!
