2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Olga Koch: If/Then
A storming hour of comedy, If/Then is a tale of womens' jobs, computer science, self-image and first love. A worthy successor to 2018's excellent Fight.
Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Olga Koch is back! Ahead of her BBC Radio 4 special, the acclaimed stand-up tells a love story through the medium of computer programming (which she studied at university, and, like, barely ever brings up). In her feminist investigation into what happens when we can't separate love and technology, Olga will teach you how to code and explore what happens when our expectations for love, happiness and Michael Bublé no longer compute.
