Jane Bussmann on 'The Worst Date Ever', at 5x15

19 Apr 2010

Speakers: Jane Bussmann

Jane Bussmann explains the absurdity of real life and how the indirect route, one that took her from Hollywood to Uganda, is often the most interesting. In Bussmann's 15 minutes of comedy, she gives a live performance of her book The Worst Date Ever (2009). The book begins with Bussmann working as a celebrity journalist, interviewing Ashton Kutcher and falling foul of celebrity agents, follows her through various attempts at feature writing for broadsheets and eventually sees her applying to work as a teacher in Uganda as a cover for her desire to know more about about two men: one a symbol of war, another who fights for peace.
