"I Got Sick Then I Got Better" is a wrenching comic riff on one woman's adventures after falling down the medical rabbit hole. Diagnosed with andtreated for ovarian cancer in 2005, writer and performer Jenny Allen (The New Yorker, The New York Times) tells her story of the harrowing tailspin she took following her diagnosis, combining biting humor with searing emotion in a witty, bittersweet monologue that limns the personal and family collateral damage a life-threatening illness brings.
