Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen

'I'm thirty-six, I'm a comedian, and I'm about to kill my boyfriend'

A permanently single, professionally neurotic stand-up comedian finally meets his Mr Right – and then does everything wrong

Is Mr Right quite what he seems?

And just how far will the comedian go to get a laugh?

Marcelo Dos Santos's play Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen is a dark and biting one-man show about vulnerability, intimacy, ego and truth

It premiered in the Roundabout at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, produced by Francesca Moody Productions, directed by Matthew Xia, and starring Samuel Barnett
