Warnings: Strong Language!

Man. I thought sleeping with you would help me get over Diana. But I feel horrible. Just one of the things said to Abigoliah after sex. This NYC comic reflects on her own amorous affairs then asks: what's the weirdest thing you've been told post-coitus? Sometimes it's bizarre, other times it makes you fall in love. But it's always interesting and often a bit wrong. Winner Moth StorySLAM, NYC. 'A comedy whirl-wind!’ ***** (ThreeWeeks). 'Hilarious stories’ **** (Skinny). 'Not a run of the mill comic. Draws howls of laughter from the packed house’ **** (One4Review.co.uk).

Russell Howard, Miranda Hart and Tim Minchin ... what have they got in common? They all once received one-star reviews. This show presents a fresh daily line-up of one-star wonders who've proved their reviewers wrong. Last year's guests included Patrick Monahan, Kevin Day, Alfie Moore and many other excellent comedians. It was also featured on BBC2's Edinburgh Nights with Sue Perkins. This year's line-up is even more exciting. All hosted by the wonderfully funny Nigel Lovell. ‘An absolute delight’ (Kate Copstick, Scotsman). **** (TheatreExtra.blogspot.co.uk).
