But is Mr Right quite what he seems? And how far will the comedian go to get a laugh? Strap in for a wonderfully dark journey through self-awareness and self-sabotage as he decides whether love is worth the price of a killer punchline.

A black comedy about vulnerability, intimacy, ego and truth from the Olivier Award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer, starring Tony and Olivier nominated actor Samuel Barnett.
