Just the Tonic

Admin

Having moved 5,437 miles for love, award-winning Egyptian-American comedian Maria Shehata presents her debut hour of playfully sardonic stand-up. Charmingly conversational and brutally honest, Maria divulges the realities of giving up a glamorous LA lifestyle to discover that saying 'I moved here for you' does not win every argument. Winner: Best Comedian at Hollywood Festival of New Cinema and Best Comedy at the Miami Web Fest. 'Maria Shehata has a Janeane Garofalo-type swagger to her, both funny and entertaining' (LA Times). 'Maria is my favourite little Egyptian' (Jim Gaffigan).

A FaceTime relationship turns face to face

When you talk to someone on FaceTime, there is a little square of your face in the corner that gives you a self-awareness you would not get on a date. It's as if you're holding up a tiny mirror in front of yourself during the entire conversation.
