'If I'm in a lesbian relationship when I'm older, I want you to be the sperm donor' Claire says to her best friend Dan, while drunk at a uni party. 'Okay, it's a deal'. Flash forward ten years and the two friends are making good on their promise. Having your best friend be your sperm donor – what could go wrong? Big Sofa Theatre presents a queer rom com, written by Maria Telnikoff (Previously at Underbelly: My Dad Wears A Dress, All The Men Are Going To Hate Me), directed by Lauren Tranter.

About the show

Eggs Aren't That Easy to Make is a queer rom com presented by Big Sofa Theatre & Counterminers at the Jersey venue during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. When Claire drunkenly asks her best friend Dan to be her sperm donor at a university party, a deal is struck — and ten years later, the two friends are making good on their promise. The show is written by Maria Telnikoff and directed by Lauren Tranter, runs for 60 minutes, and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

A warm and funny new piece of writing that finds fresh drama in an unexpected friendship arrangement. The premise is perfectly pitched — comic but with real emotional stakes — and it's the kind of original new writing that the Fringe does best.
