Where to Sit
It's one performer talking to the audience, so being able to see his face matters more than the width of the stage. The rows rise steeply from the front, which keeps the view clear from most seats.
What's It About?
"I'm 36, I'm a comedian, and I'm about to kill my boyfriend." That's how the comedian introduces himself. He's single, neurotic and makes a living out of both, until he meets a man who seems perfect, and starts doing everything wrong. The question the play keeps asking is how far he'll go for a laugh.
It's a monologue told partly as a stand-up set, so Webb is alone on stage for the full hour.
Who's It For?
Fans of Steven Webb, of stand-up, and of dark, adult comedy. It's short, at just over an hour, so a 7pm show leaves time for dinner afterwards.
It's recommended for 14 and over. The language is sexually explicit, there are descriptions of consensual and unwanted sex, a simulated sex scene, and descriptions of drug use.
Feeling Afraid News
The play won a Fringe First at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe, transferred to the Bush Theatre in 2023, and has since toured Australia and had its US premiere at Studio Theatre in Washington DC. This run is its first in London for three years.
It follows An Oak Tree at The Other Palace, from the same producers.
