THE SHOW

Baby Reindeer meets PS I Love You.

"Very funny, and utterly surprising, go see George Zacharopoulos before he leaves town. It is, without question, one of the best hours of comedy on offer." ★★★★★ The Quintessential Review "This funny and insightful take on relationships has a truly touching, shocking and heart breaking ending. Zacharopoulos is so clever and sharp witted. This is such an important show"★★★★★ Entertainment Now
"He delivers this with such a wicked sense of humour that you will ache from laughing so hard" ★★★★★ The Reviews Hub
"Impeccably structured and wonderfully performed. Cathartic and hilarious." ★★★★★ Corr Blimey

George met a girl in 2018. The Dream girl. A doctor, a mother of two, beautiful, smart, and funny. And then things happened...

This is a show about love and betrayal. And it is 100% true.
Named among the best reviewed comedy shows at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe (compiled by British Comedy Guide), this is the show everyone is talking about.
