Jesse Reynolds

Jesse Reynolds

Jesse Reynolds is a Canadian actor, emcee and comedian who is best known for his work as an actor, radio personality and stand-up comedian. Jesse was born in Ottawa, Ontario and was interested in drama from a young age. As a child, he won a regional public speaking competition with a speech about Dracula. After that, he went on to lead a successful high school career starring in numerous plays, musicals, and the Canadian Improv Games; with accolades in acting from the SEARS Ontario Drama Festival. Jesse studied theatre performance at Humber College in Toronto before continuing his pursuits in acting (including a 2008 People's Choice Award from the Eastern Ontario Drama League for acting in Daniel MacIvor's The Soldier Dreams). Jesse is now represented by the Mensour Agency and most recently filmed a small role playing a receptionist in an upcoming made-for-TV movie and starred as Larry in the 2019 theatre revival of The Boys in the Band. As a comedian, Jesse is known for his indomitable stage presence, biting wit and high-octane delivery, which earned him the title of 'Ottawa's Acid Tongue' from Capital Xtra Magazine. He was also named 'Ottawa's Favourite Comedian' by FACES Magazine in 2019 and 2020. In June 2015, Jesse beat out 260 other hopefuls and won JUMP!'s Greatest Gig talent search and joined Corus Entertainment as the new morning show co-host on Ottawa's JUMP! 106.9. Jesse co-hosted the station's morning show alongside Jenna Mo, until their show was cancelled in 2018, replaced by a syndicated American program, to the outrage of many listeners and locals. Three weeks after being let go from JUMP! 106.9, Jesse and his co-host launched Jesse & Jenna's Messy Podcast in partnership with BlastTheRadio.com, which debuted at #1 on Apple Canada's Podcasting chart and was dubbed 'Ottawa's Favourite Podcast' by FACES Magazine in 2020 and 2021. In August 2021, Jesse & Jenna's Messy Podcast announced an indefinite hiatus. Jesse was one of the co-founders of the inaugural Queer Sphere Expo in 2019, a weekend-long consumer tradeshow that highlighted the best in LGBTQ-friendly businesses, for which he was recognized as a 'CBC Trailblazer' in 2021. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has not been another expo. Jesse also serves as an adjudicator for the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council which deals with complaints and questions from the public about the programming of broadcasters in Canada. In January 2022, Jesse was announced as the new morning show co-host on Kingston's Fresh 104.3 alongside Monica Lapajne, once again joining forces with Corus Entertainment. In his spare time, Jesse volunteers on the Patient & Family Advisory Committee at Bruyère Hospital, and enjoys working out, drinking wine and spending time with his Chihuahua, Lopez- not necessarily in that order.
