Edinburgh Fringe
Please Love Me
'I felt this pressure to be sexy from the second I got tits. And then the f*ckers didn't even grow that much.' From the creators of the sell out show Skank (The Times' Critics choice for 2021 Edinburgh Fringe and Offies 2021 OffFest nominee) comes a one-woman spectacle featuring pole dancing and original music. A first love, second heartbreak, and third piece of cake in a row make a naughty teenager question if she can ever be a "good woman". And what the hell that even means. Ready for some clubland classics and moral philosophy?
