Description

Faking Bad – or good – our personality is something we all do. Why? Maybe we don’t really know ourselves, or maybe because we definitely do!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic show that combines rich content about personality psychology with an engaging participatory comedy session. The hosts know their stuff and know how to work the audience. The intimate bar setting is perfect as the audience gets to understand themselves better through psychological insights. Beer tasting too - bonus!!

I was happy that I did not miss the opportunity to attend Faking Bad by Nikita.
I enjoyed the witty and smart psychology jokes, and funny real life personality examples, that everyone can relate to. With all the things on the Fringe, this show is the place to laugh and learn about your self and others.

This is a very funny, smart show and the best part is, we can all connect with it cause we can see the links to ourselves, our friends and family, and our work colleagues.
This will have you tittering away for days to come.

Thought provoking & enlightening! A thoroughly enjoyable show ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nikita and Niamh take you on a 60 minute rollercoaster ride of giggles, the odd demonstration and easy to understand language... Let's be honest, we are not all psychology experts!

Faking bad helps you understand (& laugh at) the quirks of different personality types and embrace why we are, the way we are.

Laughs a plenty for the extrovert in you. And not too long a show for the introvert... If you don't understand, you definitely will after this show!

Why can't I just enjoy a bath without thd missus thinking there's something wrong in the relationship? This - and many of life's other unanswered questions - is just one nugget I'll take away from this psychology-based gem of a show. Must see!
