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

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.
