Miss Saturn Now Offers Fantastic Hula Hoop Workshops. Be sure to visit the Upcoming Shows section for more info. Jenny McGowan, popularly known as Miss Saturn, is a physical comedian, character actor and hula hoop artist who has been performing for over 15 years and has become a mainstay in NYC's top vaudeville and cabaret scene. Performing original work that combines vaudeville antics, audience interaction, impeccable timing, costumes, music and quite often hula hooping with up to 75 hula hoops at one time, Miss Saturn is a vision that has been only seen in your wildest dreams. Jenny is a chameleon, capable of embodying a wide range of characters, from the sizzler Miss Saturn, the cult act being the first to bring hula hoop to the burlesque stage in NYC, to Saturnova, the Russian diva and hula hoop artist, and Jenny Jenny, a big kid in an adults body. Jenny's full length show and variety acts have left people in laughter and awe across the world. She has performed her solo outdoor show at the World Busker's Festival in New Zealand, as well as enjoying a weekly run in Victorian Gardens in Central Park, NYC and at Coney Island, NYC. Jenny has performed in opening acts for the bands Modest Mouse, Moby, The Faint, Velvet Revolver, Reverend Horton Heat, The Walkmen and The Straight Jackets. She is the creator and producer of "Hula Pa Looza", an all hula hoop cabaret, co-creator of the hit comedy and dance troupe Animal Crackers and co creator of "Hula Wars." Jenny was trained in acting at Otterbein College and has studied clown with David Shiner, Sue Morrison, Giovanni Fusetti, Matt Chapman, Avner Eisenberg and Julie Goella.
