About A Lovely Time
A Lovely Time presents Molly McGuinness's debut stand-up show at Monkey Barrel 4 as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. To Molly, the good life meant a great buffet and belting out Meatloaf at pub karaoke. But when this Salford-born comedian was laid out by a life-threatening illness, slobbing out became less of a choice. The show runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over. Strong language is listed as a content warning. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
A debut show with real stakes — Molly McGuinness takes the very unglamorous experience of serious illness and finds the comedy in being forced to slow down. Warm, dry, and genuinely funny.
