Trauma Made Me Hot

Edinburgh 2026

He tried to kill her, now she's sexier than ever. In this WIP, award-winning comedian Mariah Girouard tells a true story about murder, survival and slaying after almost being slain. It's stand-up comedy on the edge of a true crime documentary, a raw narrative where trauma doesn’t leave scars, it chisels cheekbones and crafts a fierce personality to match.
