Born in Hackney, London, to Nigerian parents, Esien attended Raine's Foundation School, and initially studied law before giving up to study drama, graduating from Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She came to prominence in 2003 in the BBC hidden-camera show 3 Non-Blondes, having also appeared in other television series such as The Fast Show and The Bill. In 2006 she wrote and starred in her own comedy sketch show called Little Miss Jocelyn, a second series of which aired in January 2008. This show marks the first time in the history of television – in either the US or the UK – that a black woman has been given her own solo comedy sketch show.
In 2000, Esien won the Best Newcomer award at the Black International Comedy Awards, and she won a New Talent Award in the Women in Film and Television Awards 2006.
Presenter and 'Little Miss Jocelyn' comedienne Jocelyn Jee Esien talks womans troubles and high heels in this minute of strong language and comedy stand up. From the BBC.

Saturday Live Again - Jocelyn Jee Esien
In 2007, ITVs Director of Comedy & Entertainment, Paul Jackson - who also happened to be the originator of Saturday Live - realized that it had been 21 years since the pilot of Saturday Live (then hosted by Lenny Henry). To celebrate this seminal show, ITV commissioned a one-off live 90m special, which aired on December the 1st 2007. This clip is a comedy set by the comedian Jocelyn Jee Esien (with special guest Myleene Klass!) - which was shot in the same studio as the original - LWT1, with the same inflatables and with Ben Elton amongst the comedy, musical and variety guests.
