About this show
An evening of funny, heartfelt and gloriously overdramatic poetry about love, failure, anxiety, music, growing older and trying to survive modern life whilst screaming into the abyss. Blending stand-up, storytelling and spoken word, this is a show about finding beauty in the mess. Some poems are uplifting. Some are ridiculous. Some are angry. One of them might accidentally change your life. Or at the very least ruin your mascara. This is a chance to see a brand-new piece of work from a Fringe legend as a part of Shedinburgh.
