Backstage in Biscuit Land

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 10 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.

"Delightful Stephen Fry"

"Jess Thom's condition lends her show an absurdist edge Samuel Beckett would be proud of." Guardian

Co-creators: Jess Thom, Jess Mabel Jones, Matthew Pountney
Produced by: Jolie Booth and Matthew Pountney
Supported by Unlimited, Graeae & Battersea Arts Centre

Warnings: 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 have 2 performances - a matinee and evening show. The 7.30pm performance includes a post-show talk with the actors. This performance will also be BSL signed.

Wheelchair access is available at both performances - however spaces are limited spaces. Please email us at loopingthanet@gmail.com
