Fixx Coffee are delighted to be the preferred Coffee Supplier for “All this and a Hill of Beans” part of Absolut Fringe.
If you haven’t met the lovely Jenna yet I suggest you drop into The Bald Barista on Harcourt Street and meet the one and only herself. Jenna is a real character full of wit and charm and her show “All This and a Hill of Beans” is a monologue and improv about cafe work and how life has brought her to this point.
So what’s the show about?
How does a witty, loudmouth Yank with two degrees and an over-inflated ego end up slinging lattés on Harcourt Road? Through monologue, improv and the dark art of foam ornamentation, barista Jenna Logan lays bare the hidden side of café work, and in the process tries to reconcile the gap between where she thought she’d be and where she is. All This and A Hill of Beans is a show for anyone who suspects that their true potential may not yet be fully realized. Directed by filmmaker Conor Horgan, the show takes place in an actual coffee shop and coffees will be provided; decaf served with a side of mockery.
