LA premiere! Revel in the unexpected with Backstage in Biscuit Land, the two-woman solo show created and performed by Jess Thom. Exploring spontaneity, creativity, and disability, this runaway smash hit of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival weaves together comedy, puppetry, singing, and incredible tics—Jess has Tourette’s Syndrome, a condition that makes her say “biscuit” 16,000 times a day. A hilarious, inspiring, and pioneering performer, Jess unleashes her unique life perspective on the world. And because Jess is neurologically incapable of staying on script, no two shows can ever be the same!
According to the Guardian, “Jess Thom’s condition lends her show an absurdist edge Samuel Beckett would be proud of.”
Performances are relaxed, with an unconventional seating arrangement, and open to people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities. Touretteshero welcomes audiences to make noise during the show, which adds a whole new dimension to theatre, something Touretteshero likes to call “Extra Live.” This performance will feature ASL interpretation.
As Jess is one of the ten percent of people with Tourette’s Syndrome who have swearing tics, this performance may include the involuntary use of words that some audience members may find offensive.
Ages: Age 14 and up
