Jess Thom has Tourette's syndrome, 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 unleashing 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. Jess is neurologically incapable of staying on script, so no two shows can be the same. And that’s when the fun begins.
Jess is one of the 10% of people with Tourette's syndrome who have swearing tics, so this performance may include the involuntary use of words that some audience members may find offensive.
