Jenna Suffern: Lobster In A Glass

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

There comes a time in every little girl’s life when she dreams of the dazzling future that lies ahead. Fame, fortune, the 2012 London Olympics. The classics!

Instead, you’re now 34, half of a girl, a raging homosexual, spending your limited funds from your four different jobs on therapy, and asking everyone you know if they’re mad at you.

This is a show for anyone who isn’t where they thought they’d be in life. For anyone living above their means and portraying a life of success. Just order a bloody lobster in a bloody glass, babe. You deserve it.
