Sad Girls Club, Glasgow Comedy Festival review

This play expresses a need for compassion and empathy which is all too easily forgotten in today's fast paced, self absorbed society. As women whether it be for the smallest or largest issue we pick up the pieces and find a way to push forward supporting each other along the way. In every way it's important we continue supporting each other.
