💨 Abstract

Laurie Magers, a 33-year-old comedian and TV writer, is sharing her unusual and uncomfortable past relationship in her Edinburgh Fringe show. At 23, she met a man on parole for assault with a deadly weapon and immediately fell into a four-month relationship with him, lasting two more years long-distance until it 'fizzled' out. She openly discusses the abuse, infidelity, and manipulation, using comedy to process the traumatic experiences.
