Program Includes:

Best friends Evie and Jesse get ready for a dinner party for an old high school friend. They make a deal- Jesse won't mention that Evie's fiance cheated on her and Evie won't mention that Jesse's getting her eggs tested to freeze them. They arrive at the party to discover the old friend, Jane, is highly accomplished, highly annoying and highly pregnant. After being grilled about her lack of offspring, Evie blurts out Jesse's big fertility secret. The night ends with the girls sitting in Jesse’s car- dejected. The next day, a discouraging doctor's visit and news of an ex expecting only makes things worse. The girls dance and drink their blues away, inevitably deciding to have a baby together.

In the past year, Derek "Milkshake" Qamar has been harshly dumped by his longtime girlfriend, Maria,. Forced to move into his music producer friend, Helen’s, living room. And stuck in a dead-end job with three goofy white dudes. After a particularly long day at work followed by a dangerous trip down a social media black hole, Derek finds an unlikely stress-reliever at 3am: rapping. It’s therapeutic. Good thing it’s for his ears only ...right?? Uh oh. Revenge Tour is an entertaining, unique, funny, and even touching look at how angry we can get about things we can’t control - and how sometimes that’s the healthiest thing for us. There's an angry rapper inside all of us.
