2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Nina Conti: The Dating Show
The quick-thinking queen of ventriloquism presents her pioneering, dating-infused show. Finding true love can't be promised, but big laughs are guaranteed. 'Head-spinningly clever, it's genius' ***** (Telegraph). 'Joyfully funny chaos... it's a hoot!' **** (Guardian). 'Uproariously hilarious... of limitless imagination' **** (Scotsman). Conti has stormed BBC One's Live at the Apollo (three times), made a BAFTA-nominated film and enjoyed sell-out shows across the world - all without moving her lips.
