Melbourne International Comedy Festival: Jayne Steer – Addickted
12 April @ 8:00 pm - 8:45 pm AEST

Jayne Steer lost her mum, her fiancé and her mind – in that order, all two weeks before her nine-night Melbourne International Comedy Festival debut. After a psychotic episode on her 35th birthday led to a cPTSD diagnosis, Jayne decided to escape to a luxury treatment facility in Thailand for three months. Surrounded by millionaires healing trauma through smoothies and breathwork, Jayne finally faced her biggest addiction – not to men, not to drugs or chaos, but to love itself.
Darkly funny and painfully human, Addickted is the brutally honest comedy about loss, lust and trying to heal yourself while constantly lighting yourself on fire.
