About this show
Temi is a Lover Girl but, somehow, always single! After sell-out shows across the country, she thought she'd be fighting suitors off. But, no. So, she's made another one! Will you love her as much as she loves herself? Sexy, surreal and gloriously self-indulgent – Temi is back. And this one's for the lovers. Praise for Temi's 2024 hit Main Character Energy: 'The perfect send up of the one woman show' (Guardian). 'Of all the shows to see... this must be top of your list' * (Skinny). 'A five star triumph' * (DIVA Magazine).

Following the widely acclaimed Main Character Energy, Temi Wilkey returns to the Fringe with her second show, Lover Girl, despite being “somehow, always single”. 3 Stars
A riotous, razor-sharp dissection of modern romance
— A Youngish Perspective (4 out of 5 stars)
Temi Wilkey has this unapologetic spunk that makes you laugh through a mix of surprise, embarrassment and joy. She radiates the magnetic confidence that makes you scream internally, ‘I want to be her!’
— Wee Review (4 out of 5 stars)
