About Sarah Bradley
Sarah Bradley: How to Write a Romcom is a stand-up and improv comedy show in which romantic comedy scholar Sarah Bradley guides the audience through comforting clichés, timeless tropes, falling-in-love montages and predictable endings. The show explores big questions — can enemies really become lovers? Is working in print media the real secret to finding love? — and collaborates with the audience to create an original love story. It runs for 60 minutes at Bothie, is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over, and involves audience participation.
Why see this show?
A warm and playful show that takes the romcom genre seriously enough to pull it apart and lovingly enough to rebuild it. The audience collaboration element means no two nights will produce quite the same story.
