Swearing, extremely inappropriate jokes and a string of technical glitches, or is this the winning recipe for Jo D’Arcy’s colourful school lessons? The “D’Arcehole”, as her pupils lovingly called her during her short-lived teaching career, brings you the lesson you always wanted but never had. Using a “basic” powerpoint presentation, the “D’arcinator” will teach the kind of uncensored lessons that got her in the shit back in Stoke-on-Trent. She’s hoping that by the end someone can help her decide whether to stay in comedy or go back to school. What D’Arcy’s act may lack in refinement, she makes up for by being undeniably likeable, sincere and, as Miss Trunchbull once wisely said, “too good for children”.
