If you missed British comedy writer, performer, and activist Jane Bussmann last time she was in New York City, or if you just want to see her again, you're in luck. She'll be performing her sometimes inappropriately funny comedy show, Bussmann's Holiday, in NY on March 11, 16, and 18.

If you missed British comedy writer, performer, and activist Jane Bussmann last time she was in New York City, or if you just want to see her again, you're in luck. She'll be performing her sometimes inappropriately funny comedy show, Bussmann's Holiday, in NY on March 11, 16, and 18 as part of the Culture Project's Women Center Stage Festival at the Living Theatre. Enough has written about her shows in Nairobi and New York.

After years of working as a journalist covering celebrities, Bussmann traveled from Hollywood to northern Uganda to interview (and possibly get a date with!) Enough Project Co-founder John Prendergast. Instead, Prendergast returned to the U.S. before she could interview him, and she found herself witness to the brutal campaign of violence carried out by the Lord's Resistance Army, or LRA - and became inspired to end it.
