Tickets are available now via LiveNation.co.uk.

MORE ON THE SHOW: Jamie’s best friend mysteriously died in 2004. At the time, Jamie suppressed her emotions and ignored her suspicions because that’s what she thought “moving on” looked like. Cut to 20 years later. There’s a writers strike in LA. Jamie is forced to stop working and finds herself thinking nonstop about Katy. She’s determined to find out what happened. This is the story of not a detective, but a comedian, conducting an investigation and processing their findings in the only way they know how: by talking about them on stage. That’s right: it’s a true crime stand-up hour.
