Jess Salomon: Sad Witch
Jess Salomon’s debut comedy special runs the gamut! In this at times slightly off the rails hour, Jess makes the case that bisexuals are “born this way”, presents an airtight alibi for her whereabouts on January 6th, shares her comedy origin story and makes fun of the Dutch, which is still allowed! She also opens up about some rockiness in her Jewish-Muslim-Palestinian-Lesbian marriage. Would tensions in the Middle East break them apart or keep them together - the Rom-Com poster might ask.
