Funny Women Awards Finalist 2009 Genevieve Swallow will be bringing her show to Edinburgh this year!

Have you ever shared? Genevieve has. Nightmare housemates have come and gone: one asked her to join a cult; another stole the bed she slept in! Genevieve needs a new roomie and is using this show to find the perfect candidate. Could it be you? Stories and characters celebrating house-sharing. A show for anyone who has fumed about leftover washing-up … and for those who left it! Funny Women finalist, Stage Awards Nominee, Fringe Report Best Actress. ***** (Whatsonstage), 'She has the audience hooting with glee.' (Scotsman).

 

Genevieve Swallow is Sharing Edinburgh preview will be at The Bedford Pub (Tavistock Room) as part of the Balham Free Fringe Festival on the 29th July, 1pm. Catch the show at the Edinburgh Festival at Le Monde, 4th-25th August, 4.15pm.
