Per-Verse (****)
A sexually confident woman offers doggerel on many aspects of dealing with men. The rhymes are fun, but her disdain for the ineptness and affection of her pursuers makes her seem heartless. I was reminded of my age by her seemingly now acceptable lack of interest in emotional ties.


This is the 35th most enjoyable of the 125 shows I have seen so far at the Fringe this year. I hope to see more than 150 this year. You may see my other three-sentence reviews, in order from most enjoyable to worst, at my non-commercial website: https://fringefan.com/

This show deftly blends the elegance of rhyme with the messiness of modern dating. Georgie is a gifted wordsmith, and the poetry is mixed with dance and choreography that brings the words to life. I had a lot of fun, and left with a big smile on my face.

A definite highlight of my Fringe.

Immensely clever, fun and addictive performance. Georgie / “Gee” keeps you hooked throughout the entire show discussing the adventures of dating in the modern life. Her show is full of engaging anecdotes and witty references. I feel so lucky to have seen her before she got famous so I can tell everyone that I saw her now. Already planning another visit - THE highlight of my Fringe Festival. TRULY a masterpiece in comedy and engaging story telling!

Highlight of my evening when I watched this show! Loved it from beginning to end and could have stayed for more. Very funny, very clever, verse was quick and bouncy, at times you could forget how well it must have been written and planned, it just become great storytelling. Great late night show, not too filthy always finding the fun and silliness in a usually well worn subject matter.
