Love Did a Number on Me
Eve Mumford / PBH's Free Fringe • Amateur Company
About the show
Love Did a Number on Me is a free show of original poetry, music and characters by Eve Mumford, presented through PBH's Free Fringe at Downstairs Room on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Warm, witty and relatable, the show explores what happens when you live the wrong life for 30 years — and what it takes to rewrite the plot. Eve built the wrong career, married the wrong man, crashed out of both, downloaded and deleted the apps, fell for the wrong people at impressive speed, before it dawned on her that maybe she was the problem. The show is sharp, funny and unexpectedly moving, runs for 50 minutes, and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A spoken word and character comedy show that earns the description 'unexpectedly moving' — funny about the right things, and honest enough to make the audience feel seen. Free to attend and compact at 50 minutes, it is a rewarding and human choice for any Fringe afternoon.
