Publisher's Synopsis

'I'm thirty-six, I'm a comedian, and I'm about to kill my boyfriend.'

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 Santos's 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.
