Happy Tea: A wild ride of self-discovery and unexpected lessons.
This candid one-woman show brings Jennifer’s journey full circle with her debut comedy hour inspired by her experiences chronicled in the multi-award-winning documentary Charged, which follows the absurd true story of her relationship with a charming serially unfaithful boyfriend, whose near-fatal freak hiking accident flipped their lives upside down.
It’s shocking. It’s painfully funny. And it’s not the story you think it is. Through biting wit and razor-sharp heartfelt storytelling, Jennifer unpacks the comedy, tragedy, and ultimate redemption in a tale so outrageous it can only be true. She delves into what it’s like to become friends with your own nipple hairs, the unexpected joy of six weeks sleeping in a chair and the room-stopping awkwardness when she asks a medical doctor if she can cook her ex-boyfriend’s amputated hand.
This is a remarkably honest, deeply insightful look at being a caregiver, trying to do the right thing under weird circumstances and the journey to reclaim her life and confidence.
