Written by Marcelo Dos Santos, directed by Matthew Xia and performed by Samuel Barnett, Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen is a theatre show at Shedinburgh Fringe Festival. A permanently single, professionally neurotic stand-up comedian, aged 36, finally meets Mr Right — then does everything wrong. But is Mr Right quite what he seems, and how far will the comedian go to get a laugh? The show returns for one night only in a raw and stripped-back performance after its 2024 Fringe run. Running 60 minutes, suitable for audiences aged 16 and above.
Why see this show?
A one-night-only stripped-back return for a show that already won admirers at the Fringe in 2024. Samuel Barnett performing a raw version of this neurotic, darkly comic tale is a rare proposition.
