Overview
A permanently single, professionally neurotic stand-up comedian finally meets his Mr Right – and then does everything wrong. Is Mr Right quite what he seems? And just how far will the comedian go to get a laugh? Marcelo Dos Santoss play Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen is a dark and bitingly funny one-man show about vulnerability, intimacy, ego and truth. It premiered in the Roundabout at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, produced by Francesca Moody Productions, directed by Matthew Xia, and starring Samuel Barnett. The critically acclaimed, Fringe First-winning production transferred to the Bush Theatre, London, in November 2023.Im thirty-six, Im a comedian, and Im about to kill my boyfriend.Blending dark humour, pathos and a hearty dash of millennial angst, [this] deserves to be the next Fleabag… the gag-count is ridiculously high and the writing overall has a Bennettian finesse… its enviably accomplished - Telegraph Enthralling… a compelling and troubling character study with some killer punchlines - Guardian A cleverly constructed piece of writing, and often very funny - The Stage Frank, funny and occasionally filthy… a nice piece of writing, following in the footsteps of Fleabag - Independent Unsettling and deeply clever… The questions posed by Dos Santoss knife-sharp writing are satisfyingly complex… Its a very funny show, but also a telling one and it confirms Dos Santos as a really interesting writer, using an examination of the mechanisms of comedy to peer closely into the workings of the human heart - WhatsOnStage Very entertaining and sharply funny - Lyn Gardner - Stagedoor Funny and pleasingly absurdist… An entertaining, sometimes outrageous hour, brought to a very skilled climax - Time Out Is this the male Fleabag?
