Sara Barron's debut hour is a hilariously brutal look at the 'joys' of motherhood, marriage, sex and friendship. She has the high-energy you'd expect of an American and the sarcasm of someone who now lives in the UK. This pay-what-you-want show is packed out so either get there early or buy a ticket in advance.


The 'reigning queen of New York's live storytelling scene' (Jon Ronson) and host of the hit US storytelling show, The Moth, delivers her debut stand-up hour. Filthy, funny and incisive, Barron skewers her husband, her child, WhatsApp, herself and, notably, a tweenage sex script she wrote way back in 1992. As heard on The Guilty Feminist and BBC Radio 4 Extra. Contributor to Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish. 'Darkly humorous... smart... acerbic' (Bust Magazine). 'Rib-tickling' (Chicago Sun-Times). 'When you're not squirming, you're laughing out loud' (LA Times).

Fringe: The best comedy shows to see

If the London previews have tickled your fancy and you've made the decision to go up to Edinburgh, you're bound to be looking for some lols.

Zoe Paskett, Evening Standard, 19th July 2018

It is a show about truth as a counterpoint to careful curation, where life is not as we like to present it, but is life how it really is.
