About this show
Australian comedy's number one autistic glamourpuss is back in Edinburgh with a banging hour of trademark Jarvis oddball stand-up. She's getting dragged backwards through a hedge and onto stage to perform some brand-new carefully crafted, deceivingly dark and genuinely funny stand-up comedy about the cruelty of reality TV, the cultural distrust being perpetrated by fairy floss flavoured vapes and the collapse of the social contract. There's something, if not for everyone, then for a large spectrum of freaks. One of Rolling Stone's 12 Must-See Comedy Shows at the Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
