Backstage In Biscuit Land

Strike A Light Festival. Touretteshero presents 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 about to unleash 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 where the fun begins.

Co-Creators - Jess Thom, Jess Mabel Jones, Matthew Poutney.
Produced by Jolie Booth and Matthew Poutney.
Supported by Unlimited, Graeae and 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.

* Suitable for ages 14+
