My Mum Accidentally Set Me Up With A Married Woman

My Mum Accidentally Set Me Up With A Married Woman

Nathan Hugh RobértProfessional company

A saleswoman knocked on my family’s door. My mum got her number, and insisted I asked the woman out. I was single, desperate and living with my parents. We started dating and things were going well. My mum thought we were going to get married. The problem was, this woman was already married. It was open marriage, but I didn't have courage to tell my sheltered, Christian parents the raunchy truth. So, I tried keeping the marriage a secret. I tried and failed. This stand-up comedy show explains it all.

About Nathan Hugh Robért

My Mum Accidentally Set Me Up With A Married Woman is a stand-up comedy show by Nathan Hugh Robért, performed at Nic 5 (Nicolson Square Venues Courtyard). A saleswoman knocked on his family's door, his mum got her number, and insisted he asked her out. They started dating — but the woman was already married, in an open marriage. Too nervous to tell his sheltered, Christian parents the truth, he tried to keep the marriage a secret. He tried and failed. The show carries a strong language warning and is for adults only.

Why see this show?

A stand-up built around an absurd but entirely true-feeling domestic catastrophe — the gap between what your parents hope for and what your life actually is. Compact, personal, and very cheap.
