About this Event
In “How I Learned (NOT) To Drive,” Jesse Bradley-Amore takes on a uniquely Florida problem: surviving without a car. After childhood trauma kept him from driving for decades, his wife delivers an ultimatum – get a license or get divorced. Mixing sharp comedy with brutal honesty, Bradley-Amore proves that facing your fears is harder than parallel parking.
