Sharon could have had functioning relationships, probably. But with hindsight and crucial wisdom shared by her mother, at age 30, she finds out exactly why the odds were so stacked against her. Throw a medical misdiagnosis (her mother's), a kidnapping (hers) and a fantasy movie produced by Ryanair into the mix and reality starts to get real. I Know a Guy, nominated for Best Debut (ISH/Jones Award) at Edinburgh Fringe 2024, takes a fun and light-hearted look at the things which define us and the darker stuff we would rather ignore.

About the show

Sharon Em performs this free stand-up show at Room 1 through PBH's Free Fringe. At age 30, with crucial wisdom from her mother, Sharon comes to understand why her relationships struggled — a journey shaped by a medical misdiagnosis, a kidnapping, and a fantasy film produced by Ryanair. The show takes a fun and light-hearted approach to the things that define us, alongside darker material it would be easier to ignore. The show was nominated for Best Debut (ISH/Jones Award) at Edinburgh Fringe in the previous year. Runs 55 minutes, suitable for those aged 16 and over.

Why see this show?

A free show that earns its audience — honest, funny, and willing to sit with uncomfortable things without making them unbearable. Sharon Em brings real charm to a story that has some genuinely strange ingredients: a kidnapping, a Ryanair film, and hard-won self-knowledge at 30.
