If middle age has taught Jen Brister anything, it’s that optimism does not come naturally to her. In fact it’s fair to say that her cup is very much half empty and she’s making no attempt to fill it. Can Jen work against her natural instincts and finally see the light? Or will she stay the same old pessimistic naysayer she’s always been. I mean, I think we know the answer to that, but let’s try and be optimistic.

Blue skates the line on topics ranging from his campaign to fix this country’s acid reflux problem to his way with animals. Through his mix of well-crafted jokes and improv, Blue takes some risks with his girlfriend, explains the miracles of botox, and tells the audience how to eat a sandwich. He’s been watching a lot of serial killer documentaries and he’s got a few thoughts on his own death. Blue is well known for his intricate lattice work of call backs and his sardonic, yet charming, self-deprecating humor.

You’re going to laugh, cringe, and feel a little better about your own abilities.
