(Read in film-trailer voice): Last summer, Jessica did two reasonably significant things. One brought pure joy. The other, a tale of entrapment, torture, shame and ice cream. This show tells the second story. The horrid one. (Normal voice): Jessica regularly hosts BBC Radio 4 Extra's Comedy Club and BBC Radio Comedy Awards (Radio 2). Jess co-hosts The Guilty Feminist and stars in the BBC One drama Three Girls. (Read in white, liberal voice): 'Wears her smarts on her sleeve. Great stuff' (Guardian). (Read in white, liberal child's voice): 'Consistently hilarious' **** (Fest).
