This one-person show, written and performed by Isabel Renner and developed with Cameron King, is fast-paced, laugh-out-loud funny, and deeply heartfelt. If you’ve ever panicked before a party or overthought the meaning of a text message, this play is exactly for you. Renner explores universal feelings like shyness, longing, and the desire to be worthy of love with raunchy (edgy but hilarious) humor, creating an experience that audiences can deeply relate to.
In previous reviews, the play has been praised as “constantly hilarious” and “inspiring and intimate for introverts.” EdFringe Review called the script “ingenious” and Renner’s performance “deserving of endless applause,” emphasizing the work’s absurdly profound depth.

Panel on Comedy Writing (November 3): Theater and comedy creation secrets will be discussed with names like Luisa Omielan (known for God is a Woman stand-up) and Ollie Maddigan.
