Jennifer Saunders

Personal context

Summary

Jennifer Saunders is an English comedian, actor and writer, best known for French and Saunders and for creating and starring in Absolutely Fabulous. Her comedy often satirizes celebrity culture, fashion and social excess, with outspoken female characters; Saunders has said it is easier for groups of men to get television shows. She promoted the 2019 petition to revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU. In 2021, she criticized what she saw as growing limits on comedy under “woke” sensibilities; no public record of identity-focused or DEI advocacy is on record.
