About this show
After her sold out Dublin Fringe run, Ally Ryan brings Nothing Personal to Edinburgh. Megan's a struggling comedian who discovers that audiences love bad date stories. To get material for her stand-up she sets out to go on as many bad dates as possible. But, when she unexpectedly falls for a potential victim she must choose between her ambition and a chance at love. A darkly funny one-woman romcom about ambition, self-sabotage and the impossible choice between love and success. Presented with Belly of the Whale Theatre.
