Jasmine Morton
Jasmine unapologetically uses comedy as her platform for free therapy, bringing her anecdotal stories to life through stand up. Expect raunchy escapades, quirky anecdotes and great shoes.
Comedian famous for The Mash Report and Taskmaster once said in passing that she's "funny". Another comedian famous for Live at the Apollo once said she's "fit". Do with that what you will.
