2014 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

For 10 years Angie played hard, had fun and jumped from relationship to relationship, till at the age of 37 she found herself with a broken back and no significant other to pass the tissues. Determined to find true love, but resist being defined of in terms of her marital status: "Why is it when you see someone you haven't seen for a long time they never ask you how you've educated and enlightened yourself to better understand the human condition, but whether you've Settled Down yet" What does Settling down mean? Can you have the thunderbolt moment without being drowned by the rain while putting out the recycling?

Angie presents dirty stanzas and awkward observations about approaching 40 via Agnosticism, angry computers and puppies. Settle Down! covers the joy of being flashed at as a teenager, class ironies and how to orgasm as an agnostic. Includes new poems such as A weekend with my mom, What kind of Music is that as well as the crowd pleasing I hate Dave.

Her live work is fruity and not for the faint hearted. An accomplished comedy actor and writer, Angie has performed and written for screen and radio. See her before she sorts her life out.
