Marjolein Robertson: O

A show about the body. Marjolein embarks on the second instalment of her standup trilogy by looking at a health condition that, left unspoken about in the past, was almost fatal. Now, shaking off the shame and armed with knowledge, Marjolein talks through menstrual health with humour and another Shetland folktale.

This show is not for the faint-hearted, with 9 audience members fainting and another 18 walkouts during its run at the Fringe. However, this is not gore for gore’s sake. This show has the potential to save lives. Also: JOKES.

‘An intelligence and commitment to her craft that is currently unrivalled on the Scottish comedy circuit’ – ★★★★ The Indiependent

Contains distressing or potentially triggering themes with reference to medical procedures and practice, and some slapstick gore.
