Venue: The Blue Man, Queens Road, Brighton

Comedy writer and journalist Jane Bussmann’s hilarious show documents her valiant attempts to switch from writing inane celebrity stories about Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears, through feature writing for broadsheets, to Africa, where she uncovers the gripping stories of two men - one a symbol of war, another who fights for peace.

In the resulting book, A Journey To The Dark Heart Of Nameless Unspeakable Evil, she savages Hollywood, Joseph Kony, aid charities “and other abominations.”

Jane has also written for over fifty TV shows including South Park and Brass Eye – she was ‘named and shamed’ in the News of the World as one of the writers behind the celebrated Brass Eye Special: Paedophilia.

Fresh from standing-room only performances from Los Angeles to Kampala, NUJ Brighton & Sussex is delighted to host Jane in a one-off UK performance – marking the Brighton launch of her US book release (just don’t tell her publicist).

A Journey to the Dark Heart of Nameless Unspeakable Evil was originally released in the UK as The Worst Date Ever. Jane has worked as a columnist for the Guardian, the Mail on Sunday, Red and The Face and has interviewed Hollywood celebrities for Glamour, Marie Claire and the Sunday Times.
