Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen description

“I’m 36, I’m a comedian, and I’m about to kill my boyfriend…”

A chronically single, professionally neurotic stand-up finally meets his Mr Right - only to do everything wrong. But is Mr Right quite what he seems? And how far will the comedian go to get a laugh?

Strap in for a ’fast, filthy and surprisingly revealing’ ( ★★★★ The Evening Standard) journey through self-awareness and self-sabotage as he decides whether love is worth the price of a killer punchline.

Marcelo Dos Santos' Fringe First Award-winning hit returns to London for the first time in three years, following an Australian tour and a critically acclaimed US premiere at Studio Theatre DC. Starring West End favourite Steven Webb (Shucked, The Book of Mormon, The History Boys).

A ‘compelling and troubling character study with some killer punchlines’ (★★★★ The Guardian), this darkly comic exploration of vulnerability, intimacy, ego and truth is back. From the Olivier Award-winning Producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer.
