⌛ Hourglass
🗓 Wednesday 12th March
🕑 8pm
📍
🎟️🔗 https://www.glasgowcomedyfestival.com/performances/rebekka-pewterbaw-hourglass-wip/

Like sands through the hourglass, these are the eggs in Rebekka’s ovarian reserve. Despite endless warnings about accidental pregnancy, she finds herself single at the tender age of 42 juggling job loss, ex utero pregnancy, polyamorous partners, and a joie de vivre fading faster than the blush in her cheeks. Who knew it was so hard to get knocked up? Or maybe the universe knows something she doesn’t about her would-be offspring…
