Number 1 pick in Time Out’s
‘The 11 best comedy shows at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023’
Friday 8th September – Following selling out her month-long Edinburgh Festival Fringe run in advance of starting and adding extra dates, plus subsequently receiving an Edinburgh Comedy Award ‘Best show’ nomination for her new hour, which was also declared one of the best reviewed Fringe shows this year by the British Comedy Guide, Ania Magliano (Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date, ITV2’s The Stand Up Sketch Show, Dave’s The Comedy Guide to Life) adds a brand new London date at the Bloomsbury Theatre to her debut tour. The comic and writer is set to perform I Can’t Believe You’ve Done This, at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre on 10th February after a 6 night run at Soho Theatre (downstairs) from Monday 16th – Saturday 21st October (last few tickets available), which kickstarts her 35 date debut tour across the country from 27th January.
Based on the dramatic and life changing story of the worst haircut she’s ever had, this show will see Ania explore her own (and everyone else’s) insecurities through her signature story-telling style, unique observations and quick wit. Ania invites the audience into her gossip loving world and together they analyse the major milestones of her life so far – from the haircut that ruined it, to the surgery that changed it forever. Whether they have their own threesome story or not, this show has a relatable moment for everyone.
