Jess Thom has Tourettes, a condition that makes her say 'biscuit' 16,000 times a day. Her unusual neurology gives her a unique perspective on life; one she's unleashed on the world. This two-woman solo show weaves comedy, puppetry, singing, and incredible tics to explore spontaneity, creativity, disability, and things you never knew would make you laugh. Geranium bashing and penguin gangbangs may or may not feature - no two shows can ever be the same. Jess is neurologically incapable of staying on script, and that's when the fun begins.
"Extraordinarily entertaining... an adventure in every way" Guardian
"You'll definitely laugh, you may cry, you'll probably get a biscuit" The Public Review
"a fantastic production that has been well crafted into an immensely entertaining hour" Everything Theatre
"Delightful" Stephen Fry
"A celebratory show" The Stage
"Hugely uplifting and entertaining" Exeunt Magazine
PARENTAL GUIDANCE: Jess is one of the 10% of people with Tourettes Syndrome who has swearing tics, so this performance may include the involuntary use of words that some audiences may find offensive. We suggest an age rating of 14+ but it's entirely up to you.
