About this show
A one-woman comedy about life falling apart just as it is meant to be falling into place. Divorced, and back in her childhood bedroom at 30, Sundance award-winning actress and NYC stand-up Alessandra Ford (Shameless, Greenberg, Plainclothes) confronts the absurd humiliation of starting over. With credits spanning Comedy Cellar, The Stand, and television projects developed for NBCUniversal, Alessandra tells a story of regression, reinvention and reluctant self-discovery. 30 and F*cked serves up dark humour and brutal honesty with the confidence of someone with zero self-awareness and nothing to lose.
