A monster’s guide to tolerance and temperance. Jess can feel herself becoming an
emotional wildebeest right when her world (and the whole world, thanks) demands
cool, collected ultra detached saint-like kindness and understanding. S**t.
She goes digging around in her DNA for answers and finds so many beautiful
horrors. Witness her effort to become a brand new, mythical, mystical ‘coper.’ OR
NOT. She gets cancelled, she gets touched and she gets a dolphin-based epiphany
all in one show. The silliest of comedy for the scariest of days from Edinburgh Best
Show Award Nominee.
You’ve seen Jess on BBC’s QI, Live at the Apollo, Celebrity University Challenge
and Richard Osman’s House of Games. From Travel Man on C4 and World’s Most
Dangerous Roads on Dave. You know her from her two BBC R4 series of Sturdy Girl
Club plus podcasts The Guilty Feminist and Hoovering. And, of course, from new
mighty smash hit Gladiator’s fan-podcast Contender Ready which Jess co-hosts with
Olympic weightlifting superstar, Emily Campbell.
