Grace Jarvis - Just Because I'm Crying Doesn't Mean I'm Not Having a Nice Time

Watching Grace Jarvis do stand-up is like catching up with an old friend after a long time apart – it's laidback, conversational – and there’s a lot to catch up on. Importantly, this particular old friend has spent the last year living overseas, falling in love for the first time, and working in a sex shop – so that last bit really can’t be overstated.

As an autistic person, Jarvis describes her ability to remain unphased in unusual situations as one of her strengths, and it's a skill that extends to her storytelling. Her unflappable composure is so infectious that she breezes through anecdotes of increasing bizarreness without you even batting an eyelid. It's only when the shop concludes that you start to wonder how the same person could possibly have had so many strange things happen to them.
