Description
Cassie is a hot mess. Jo is playing it cool. When a sleepover erupts with a phone-call break-up, two women get ready to light it up and burn it down. Through raging reflections, cathartic cooking shows, and treadmill therapy, these best friends must face the realities of their romantic relationships and the toxic truth behind them. An upbeat, queer and honest exploration of consent, self-love and healing. Cassie and Jo invite you into their rom-com gone wrong. And who knows... maybe you need to break up with your boyfriend too.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

A touching and funny show about navigating unhealthy relationships, handled very sensitively by two amazing and talented young actors. Highly recommend this show for anyone who is going through, or ever has gone through a tough relationship. Be warned - it doesn’t hold back!

An amazing heartfelt, warm and funny portrayal of a sensitive subject that everyone should see. Talented writing and talented relatable acting. Abbie and Rebekah are sure to go far.

This show called me and my friend out too many times. We were each one of the two. Painfully relatable, hilarious, deep, real and with well realised concepts. I especially loved how they dealt with relationship grief and red flags during dating.

This show took me back to the many and various experiences and mistakes I made as a young woman. I am so glad that women can be so honest and reflective. I cried. My son wasn’t so keen but all the girls loved it.

This show was great! The performers are fab and it was an engaging story. I would recommend to read about the show before going as the material is quite emotional and took me a bit by surprise.

A funny, touching and vulnerable portrayal of womanhood and queerness. A truly moving performance and a fantastic cast, would highly recommend!

Really enjoyable show, very touching and somewhat unfortunately relatable. Funny, heartwarming and a lovely narrative on the trials and tribulations of being a queer woman.
