This summer we are looking forward to the second, much anticipated show from Maddy Anholt!

After a sell-out run in West End theatres and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2013, receiving a five star reviews, being featured as part of the Official Edinburgh Fringe Festival Three Weeks Podcast, BBC Radio London, The Pleasance Theatre Sketchy Nights with Hennessy & Friends, and a BBC Radio Comedy Showcase Maddy is back!

#Desperate tells the hilarious and harrowing story of one woman’s quest for love in the ever-expanding world of internet dating. In the process it explores many issues and insecurities facing young women today. #Desperate is a bittersweet, darkly humorous tale of dating, mating and hating.

A challenging, honest, contemporary, highly entertaining new piece of theatre exploring some fundamental issues about love, rejection, self-esteem and gender. Get a sneak peek here!

"…Nothing short of brilliant… an unmissable piece of comedy… an absolute must-see…" Broadway Baby

You can see Maddy perform #Desperate at the Hen and Chickens Theatre on Saturday 28th June and Wednesday 9th July. For more information click HERE!
