Jane Bussmann is an award-winning British comedy writer and author who has written for South Park, the Emmy-winning Smack The Pony, The Fast Show and legendary satire show Brass Eye (Bussmann was 'Named and Shamed' in the News of the World as one of the writers behind the most complained-about program in British television history). Her comedy show Bussmann's Holiday was a four-star hit at the Edinburgh Festival with a subsequent sold-out London run at the Soho Theatre, going on to play in New York, Sydney and the Comedy Store (Los Angeles). The show tells the unlikely story of how Bussmann grew so fed up with interviewing celebrities in Hollywood that she decided to try her hand at a nobler journalistic foray. She came up with a plan to go to Uganda to investigate someone she Googled as 'the most evil man in the world', Lord's Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony, wanted on charges of rape, murder and the kidnapping of up to 20,000 children (Jane's decision to visit Uganda may also have been influenced by the presence of a very attractive American peacemaker). She set out with no commission other than a travel feature. "A travel feature for The Mail on Sunday, Britain's somewhat politically right-of-centre family newspaper, inaugural headline, BLACK PEOPLE - WHOSE FAULT ARE THEY? What I really wanted was to write a serious piece about 20,000 kidnapped children and a peacemaker, and the only way I could achieve this in Britain's current media climate was by sending Mail on Sunday readers on holiday to a war zone. A war zone full of black people.' The resulting show shone new light on an appalling war crime. Bussmann's Holiday became the book The Worst Date Ever. Jane is currently adapting it as a screenplay for Big Talk and Film4.
