Biography
Like so many of her comedy peers Jamie Denbo was an Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre alumna. She joined the improv and sketch comedy group after moving to New York, often performing with Jessica Chaffin who would become her regular comedy partner. This grounding in live comedy and the reputation of the UCB helped her land her first film role in "Last Night at Eddie's" (1997); She also appeared on TV in the era-defining hit "Sex and the City" (HBO 1998-2004) in 1999 and the "Upright Citizens Brigade" (Comedy Central 1998-2000). She also married fellow UC Brigadier John Ross Bowie, best known for his role as speech-impaired scientist Barry Kripke on "The Big Bang Theory" (CBS 2007-) in 2004. Often popping up on various comedy shows, she became regular on "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" (CBS 2005-) between 2006 and 2008; dabbled with drama appearing in "Cold Case" (CBS 2003-2010) and "Without a Trace" (CBS 2002-09); then went back to the funny stuff as a recurring character in "Reno 911!" (Comedy Central 2003-09) before she scored her first lead on the short-lived sitcom "Happy Hour" (Fox, 2006).
