Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen

Starring Samuel Barnett / Written by Marcelo Dos Santos / Directed by Matthew Xia

“I’m 36, I’m a comedian, and I’m about to kill my boyfriend…”

A permanently single, professionally neurotic stand-up comedian finally meets his Mr Right and then does everything wrong. But is Mr Right quite what he seems? And how far will the comedian go to get a laugh? Strap in for a delightfully dark journey through self-awareness and self-sabotage as he decides whether love is worth the price of a killer punchline.

★★★★★ A masterclass in comic delivery.
WhatsOnStage

A black comedy about vulnerability, intimacy, ego and truth from the Olivier Award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer, starring Tony and Olivier nominated actor Samuel Barnett.

★★★★★ The gag-count is ridiculously high... Catch it, then, before everyone else does.
