About the show
Relay is a comedy show by Leila Navabi, presented by Sherman Theatre, Pleasance and TEAM at Beside as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Following her debut hour Composition, Navabi returns with a show that dives into the wild ride of making a baby at home with her partner, a best mate as the sperm donor, and his boyfriend cheering from the sidelines. With sharp wit and tender sincerity, she unpacks love, ambition and the chaos of building a family on her own terms. Running for 60 minutes, the show is recommended for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Navabi handles a genuinely unusual situation with equal parts absurdity and warmth. The show is personal without being navel-gazing, and its take on chosen family feels grounded rather than sentimental.
