A bad boy? Hot. A bad person? Not. It’s Christmas Day and Laurie’s on her way to visit her boyfriend… in prison. A must-see fringe debut from US comedian Laurie Magers (Netflix’s Obliterated, Upright Citizens Brigade) about the time she dated an incarcerated multi-felon. Unapologetically hilarious and unflinchingly honest, Laurie reflects on her real-life relationship with a guy behind bars – from phone sex to prison letters, visitation to vaginal drug smuggling. This true story confronts love addiction, sexuality, abuse, and the complexities of the American prison system. But don’t worry, it’s super funny.

About the show

Laurie Magers brings her debut Fringe show based on the true story of the time she dated an incarcerated multi-felon. Set on Christmas Day as she makes her way to visit him in prison, the show is unapologetically hilarious and unflinchingly honest about love addiction, sexuality, abuse, and the complexities of the American prison system. From phone sex to prison letters, visitation to what comes next, Magers confronts the messier sides of attraction and self-deception without flinching.

Why see this show?

A debut Fringe show drawn from a true story that really did happen — sharp, confessional, and much funnier than its subject matter suggests. Magers keeps it honest throughout and never asks for sympathy she hasn't earned.
