Jerk Off!

A love story that hits back.

A British Pakistani mother would like to tell you the story of her abusive relationship with a hiphop dancer (Yawn). And how her family psychologically set her up for it (Double yawn).

Featuring Ramadan, Jessica Alba, a five-foot-long female ball python, and the four elements of hip-hop, writer-performer Nadia P. Manzoor takes on multiple characters, and a tidy victim narrative that refuses to behave itself.

As the story she’s spent years telling starts to unravel in front of an audience, blame, grief, lust, family, and memory collide in increasingly unexpected ways.

Also: an alarming number of jerk offs. Whatever that means.
