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...
“Furiously Funny” - The Guardian
After an extended 115 date sell-out 2022/23 UK tour, and ensuing sold-out debut tour of the
USA in 2024, Jen is back on the road with her highly anticipated new show. Jen will be
launching the new show on her debut tour of New Zealand this May, before
taking it all around the UK throughout 2025 and 2026 - playing in her biggest venues yet,
including London’s Hammersmith Apollo.
