Orca #1 - Comedian Jen Brister: admits her angry stage persona was born out of her Menopause going undiagnosed for so long.

In this episode I’m chatting to the brilliant Jen Brister, comedian, author, podcaster and now she’s added angry menopausal woman to her bow. About being gaslit by her GP, having hot flushes whilst doing her act live on stage and whether her angry persona was partly born out of being Menopausal when her career was taking off!
