A Marriage of Inconvenience

Edinburgh 2026

Join best friends and rising comedy stars Abi Sharp and Harsh for a split bill that explores the intersection of Type-A ambition, queer identity and the chaotic search for love. United by their nerdy neuroses and a spectacular track record of romantic failures, the pair present A Marriage of Inconvenience: a show about the logistical nightmare of modern dating, and their pact to enter a sexless lavender marriage if they're still single by 40. Until then, they're saying 'I do' to the next best thing: awkwardly sharing the stage for half an hour each.
