Description

Dating's tough enough, but try dating when it's also hard to walk. For years, Jack stumbled through life and relationships without much direction or balance (literally). In 2021, he finally met his perfect girlfriend: a disabled artist in New York City. Then… she dumped him. Now Jack has to figure out how to be his own perfect disabled girlfriend. Join Jack as he learns how to love and be loved in this hilarious solo show combining stand-up with lots of heart and even more limp.
