Shy people, you there? This hilarious and tender tale follows Shy Girl's ambitious attempt to open up (emotionally, spiritually, uh... physically) in hopes of expanding her social life beyond the feeble realm of her imaginary friends and finding real human connection. Following sold-out, highly-beloved runs in NYC, Wyld Woman (written/performed by Isabel Renner, directed by Cameron King) is officially joining the ranks of international legendhood. 'A great triumph over shyness' and 'a powerful catharsis for anyone who has ever crossed the street just to avoid someone they know.' (BroadwayWorld.com).

Unfiltered #33 - The reality of getting Fringe ready with 'Wyld Woman: The Legend of Shy Girl'

"I wake up in a cool sweat. Okay, the sweat is not that cool, but I always hear people using that phrase."

The Quintessential Review, 26th July 2024

EdFringe Talk: Wyld Woman: The Legend of Shy Girl

"YES, this is my first time in Edinburgh! I am certainly terrified and have felt the urge to throw up several times today. But more than that, I am rife with excitement."

Dan Lentell, Get Your Coats On, 17th July 2024

Edinburgh Interview: Isabel Renner on Wyld Woman: The Legend of Shy Girl

"I hope anyone who has ever felt shy feels so seen by Wyld Woman."

Greg Stewart, Theatre Weekly, 15th July 2024

Theatre At The Fringe - Wyld Woman: The Legend of Shy Girl

"The show follows a severely timid woman (the titular Shy Girl, of course) in her attempt to be seen as cool and sexually desirable despite the fact that her only friend (well, besides her densely populated imaginary clique) is her therapist who is actually a six year old who is actually just her babysitting client."

Holly, Phoenix Remix, 11th July 2024

Fringe Quickies: 40 - Wyld Woman: The Legend of Shy Girl

"I think the title of the show makes people expect a slutty and scandalous evening at the theatre. I would NOT like to clear up this misconception."

WJ Quinn, The Quintessential Review, 23rd June 2024
