Welcome back, witches!!!!!! This week we have a super-duper special guest with us. Tune in to listen to our latest episode with stripping consultant and dancer for the movie Hustlers, comedian, and boss babe Jacq!!!!
Jacq Frances, the artist formerly known as Jacq the Stripper (@jacqthestripper) is Divorced in Paradise. Divorced in Paradise, Jacq’s 4th comedy tour, retells the odyssey of how she fled the prison she built for herself —a gay marriage, a beautiful home, and a glittering life in New York City — in search for her freedom across the North American continent. It's a transformational journey from people pleaser to boss; an invitation to a comedic and critical examination of toxic femininity, the institution of marriage, paths to empowerment, life after stripping, and, of course, divorce.
“Divorce is the nicest and most expensive thing I’ve ever bought for myself,” Frances says. Join Jacq, a svelte gay divorcee, as she masterfully destigmatizes divorce in 75 minutes, and discovers it for what it is — a luxury item.
The Divorced in Paradise tour will be traveling across the US and Canada to 35 locations – some secret, some public, all a slice of paradise– in Jacq’s Barbie Pink Subaru Outback. Tickets are on sale for $35. Jacq’s 6th book, Divorced Illustrated, will also be sold at her tour locations and will feature an amalgam of watercolor, photography, collage, and lessons from her journey. At some locations, Jacq will offer a small number of audience members the chance to join her, in her dressing room, for an intimate salon as she gets ready for the show.
