WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU STOPPED BELIEVING YOUR UNHELPFUL THOUGHTS?
I GOT ON STAGE WHEN I STOPPED BELIEVING MINE!

WHAT JESS HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE SHOW...
When I got on stage to perform my debut one-woman show, B!TCH ON THE MIC, it was only my 10th time on stage. What I lacked in experience I made up for in fearless authenticity. On stage my own inner critic shuts down and I’m embodied, real, unfiltered. I am an unapologetic truth-teller with many a tale to tell.
I become all of the inner critic characters that exist in my brain (and of course, the audience members too). Some of these characters are ridiculous – physical comedy galore. Some have depth and move the audience to tears…permission to be a messy human electrifies the room.
As this show was created and delivered by a late-diagnosed ADHD brain, the pace is fast and dirty laundry is aired shamelessly. The Brighton Theatre reviewer said that I kept the ‘audience on the edge of their seats’, adding ‘more shows like this please!’
Why did I create a show that’s so untamed and audacious? Because I believe it’s possible for women to live lives with more mental and emotional freedom – they just need to witness the lived example. When we see someone else doing something wild, we feel the pull.
This show is a call to arms for every woman who has ever felt punished by her own thoughts, to finally stop giving a fuck and take centre stage of her own life.
B!TCH ON THE MIC is an invitation to whole-heartedly celebrate the woman you see in the mirror, just as she is.
WHAT HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF THE SHOW?
Crafty bitch
…explores what becomes possible when we alchemise our shame into power, creativity and self-expression.
In these playful but profound workshops, I invite women to shed the shame that has held them back and step into their fullest, fiercest, most magnificent potential. For me, alchemising shame led to creating a one-woman show. For others, their transformation will look entirely different , as the journey is deeply personal. A new career. A new relationship — or the ending of one. Writing a book. Finally speaking their truth. Or perhaps something as life-changing as simply not hating the woman they see in the mirror.
This is ‘debitching’ live in action. A verb which means to raise awareness and transform your relationship with your inner dialog
The process feels liberating AF – and every woman who joins will feel the power of inner revolution.
