About this show
Jen Brister is Reactive - or so she's been told. Apparently you don't have to respond to every little thing around you. Finding herself in a constant state of exacerbation at the state of the world and people in general, Brister has been told she needs to chill the hell out. Can Jen find her zen? It seems unlikely to be honest… Jen has a lot to say and has come all the way to the other side of the world to say it. Join the critically acclaimed UK stand-up comedian and writer on her first tour of Australia and New Zealand. As seen on BBC's Live at the Apollo, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, QI and Mock The Week. "Furiously Funny" - The Guardian "Her energy is explosive. Her use of space and delivery, mesmerising" - The Sunday Times

It was great to see Jen perform, didn't know, and wasn't aware of the other two acts and the MC.
Only criticism, I found everyone too sweary. Get bored real quick, and will start to disengage. When I've seen Jen perform on TV one of the things I thought were refreshing was no swearing, probably because it was televised.
They did well, considering it was one of the first comedy experiences at MCT.
Would have liked a better bar area. Drinks and nibbles were limited, seats were limited. Overall, nice space to perform in.
