Backstage in Biscuit Land

Jess Thom has Tourette’s, a condition that makes her say 'biscuit' 16,000 times a day. Her unusual neurology gives her a unique perspective on life; one she's about to unleash on the world.

This two-woman show weaves comedy, puppetry, singing, and incredible tics to explore spontaneity, creativity, disability, and things you never knew would make you laugh. Geranium bashing may or may not feature - no two shows can ever be the same.

Jess is neurologically incapable of staying on script, and that's when the fun begins.

“Poignant and vibrantly instructing [about] the healing power of art and the right of everyone to access it without fear” Scotsman


Warning: Jess is one of the 10% of people with Tourettes Syndrome who has swearing tics, so this performance may include the involuntary use of words that some audiences may find offensive.

Touretteshero are committed to making their shows as accessible as possible, which is why every performance is a relaxed performance and audiences are free to make noise during the show, go in and out of the auditorium, and generally feel free to be themselves.

The Friday performance is BSL interpreted.
