Most people put many months, if not years of hard work into producing a Brighton Fringe show. Finally they’ll arrive at the Fringe, financially ruined, relationships in tatters, but ultimately with a show that they can be proud of. That sounds really hard. So I bought mine off the internet. It will be brilliant! (That’s what it says on the box.)

They’re not even particularly good; but that hasn’t stopped a troupe of burlesque wannabes from putting on a show. With a croissant in one hand and a large cup of comedy in the other, they’ve climbed their imaginary Eiffel Tower and dived head first into a world they have really only dreamed of.

Friends of Brighton Fringe 2-4-1
Have you ever watched a romantic comedy and wondered "Could that actually happen in real life?" Lizzy Mace and Juliette Burton have. And what's more, they've decided to find out!

Join them as they try talking to coma patients (While You Were Sleeping), standing on street corners (Pretty Woman) and going on a date with a guy whose paddling pool they used to play in (Bridget Jones's Diary) - all in an attempt to find The One.

Do the rom coms hold the key to finding true love? Or are they all just one big con?

Join Lizzy and Juliette for this utterly truthful romp through the rom coms that earnt them 4 and 5 star reviews and a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe last year. See them at the Brighton Fringe this May!
