I Can't Drive (or: I watched every Fast & Furious movie so you don't have to) (work in progress)

  • The Glitch 134 Lower Marsh London, England, SE1 7AE United Kingdom (map)
Jodie stands against a plain dark blue background looking disinterested and fed up, her eyeline away from the camera, and resting one arm on the other as if midway through fidgeting

A comedy/storytelling/powerpoint hybrid one woman show about cynicism, joy and deciding who and what is “good enough.” That's a show marketing-speak way of saying: Jodie's got a lot of opinions on car films for a bitch who can't drive.

This is a show/experiment about how Jodie is a judgemental, bitter little worm. It's probably the cause of many things, the least important of which being that she's never seen a single second of a single movie from the Fast & Furious franchise. UNTIL NOW.

A work-in-progress of the debut comedy hour from playwright and theatre award-winner Jodie Irvine.
