Jill WeinerProfessional company

Jill Weiner's Soup Freak is darkly funny, silly, smart and sharp hour of stand-up comedy. With topics ranging from Peloton to gas huffing, dating a guy in a van to suicide by sea, Jill expresses her perspective on the human condition while sharing her own insecurities, memories and, of course, favourite soups, stews and stocks. From top to bottom, better said, soup to nuts, her show maintains a high energy level akin to a slumber party at 2am.
