More details

Character comedian Charlotte McDougall (Bearded Ladies, Radio 4) makes her solo debut at the Edinburgh Fringe as Gay Furnish Flirt Coach, sexologist and dating guru. Gay invites you to join her and her squad of guest gurus for a flirting masterclass. Do you have zero charisma? Are you sweaty and awkward but yearn for intimacy?
