A Pet Photographer's Guide To Dating

Award-winning pet photographer. Former God-botherer. Ukulele-slinging disaster magnet.
In this sharp, dark, and saucy solo show, Brenda McAuliffe offers questionable dating advice inspired by years of emotional turbulence, inappropriate crushes, and deeply concerning decisions.

Expect absurd stories, original songs, and hard-won insights from a woman who’s tried faith, apps, and therapy, but still ends up shagging disappointment in a nice shirt. This is the guide to modern love no one asked for, but everyone secretly needs.

It’s raw, ridiculous, a little filthy, and wildly inappropriate.
Just like your last relationship.
