After playing to sell out crowds last year, Sarah Emmott is back, as Alice in the one hour, one-woman, comedy showdown that is The Speed Of Dating.

Salford University graduate Sarah Evans has been writing comedy for
over three years but has finally wrote her first one woman
comedy, based on some of her own experiences as a bisexual woman. The
25 year old certainly has a story or two to tell of crazy, ridiculous
experiences on dates, which she has cleverly woven into The Speed of Dating.

“I feel awful for anyone who has actually been on a date with me! I
suppose in a way, I really am Alice; I say all the wrong things at all
the wrong times but since writing The Speed of Dating I’ve realised that quite a few other people are too”

“There was such a positive reaction to the last run at Taurus Bar,
it was fantastic, the audience really seemed to relate to Alice in so
many ways. Even though some of Alice’s experiences are sometimes
verging on ridiculous, it seems more people than I thought experience
those types of dates! It’s comforting to know that you’re not the only
one who has been on dates where you’ve wanted to be swallowed up in
embarrassment”

The Speed of Dating is now returning to Manchester; a place that holds a special place in the writer’s heart. The comedy hit is being performed every Monday in October (5th, 12th, 19th and 26th) as part of the Manchester Comedy Festival at the Trof Bar in Fallowfield.
