Up the Yin-Yang - English Stand-up Comedy Split Bill

An English Comedy split bill from two powerhouse comedians with totally opposite spiritual conclusions
 

Jessica and Sofia are two born and rasied New Yorker comics who couldn't have more opposite and extreme experiences of consciousness and the universe.

Jessica, an ex CIA office—turned energy healer—believes in the power of the chakras and the cosmos; and Sofia an ex Buddhist cult member—turned staunch Buddhaphobic Atheist—thinks that the answer to life's mysteries is to make money and fck btches.

Get ready for a night of histerical glorious opposites from two women who have lived a thousand lives (METAPHORICALLY (says Sofia))—(LITERALLY (says Jessica). These two old souls will show you two sides of the same spiritual jokey coin through extreme optimism and extreme pessimism.
