My Mum Accidentally Set Me Up With A Married Woman

Edinburgh 2026

A saleswoman knocked on my family’s door. My mum got her number, and insisted I asked the woman out. I was single, desperate and living with my parents. We started dating and things were going well. My mum thought we were going to get married. The problem was, this woman was already married. It was open marriage, but I didn't have courage to tell my sheltered, Christian parents the raunchy truth. So, I tried keeping the marriage a secret. I tried and failed. This stand-up comedy show explains it all.
