Written for locals, by locals, and starring locals, This Blows is Key West\u2019s newest annual show that mashes up stand-up, sketch comedy, and live music into one big, ridiculous, heartfelt island experience. Jessica pulls back the curtain on how the show came to life, what it\u2019s really like building a hometown production from scratch, and why Key West is the perfect place for a comedy musical that doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously. They talk concept, casting, collaboration, and the beautiful chaos of putting real people (you might recognize) on stage at the Key West Theater. If you love Key West, comedy, live music, or just supporting local creatives doing cool sh*t, this one\u2019s for you.
