About Lauren O'Brien
Lauren O'Brien's Lolo's Boyfriend Show is a 55-minute solo theatre piece performed at Haldane Theatre, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. Lolo lands a dream European tour — which is promptly cancelled after a few weeks, leaving her back in her childhood bedroom at her mum's house in suburbia, tormented by the ghosts of failed relationships and the gap between expectation and reality. Irreverent and soul-baring, the show traces a journey from self-harm to self-redemption. Age guidance: 16+. Tickets £10.
Why see this show?
A solo performance that balances irreverence and emotional honesty — funny, sharp and genuinely vulnerable by turns. Lolo's gap between who she expected to be and where she ended up is painfully recognisable.
