| Description |
"Jill Jeffers once had her name in big bright lights. Now she couldn't find an audience with a blowtorch. Her seasons are shorter, her audiences fewer, her jokes older, her dresses tighter. She's about to make her final stand. Booked into the seediest comedy club in Melbourne, Jill Jeffers will go out with a bang, not a whimper." |
