Redressing the balance after 30 years of cock jokes, Jen Brister directs her wry fury at vaginas, at the tyranny of small children and at equality. Prepare yourself for big laughs and a frank discussion of labioplasty.
Brister has it all: a wife, kids, a house and a job she loves (sometimes) so what the hell is she moaning about? Join Jen as she takes an irreverent look at the often controversial subject of 'privilege'. Who has it? Who doesn't? And why does no one like to admit they have any? 'A powerhouse performance' ****½ (Chortle.co.uk). 'A big dose of double up funny' ***** (DeadLinenews.co.uk). 'Glorious raging' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Brister uses anger to quite stunning comedic effect' ***** (Skinny). 'Blisteringly funny' **** (List).

Alice Jones, i Newspaper, 2nd August 2019The festival bookshelf
There was a time when it was either/or - Book Festival for the writers, Fringe or International Festival for the performers. Now it seems everyone's an author. Or a performer. Or both. Sharpies out.
