About this show
Nothing consumes your life more than having a crush: making playlists, analysing looks, replaying conversations and – best of all – you never have to actually do anything about it. You can yearn forever... unless you leave it for too long and accidentally set them up with someone else. Abbie Edwards (as heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra) takes you through her first love and how she almost ruined everything. 'Original and compelling' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Considerable style' (BeyondTheJoke.co.uk). BBC New Comedy Award nominee. Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year runner-up.
