Grainne Maguire presents her EdFringe 2018 show and her award winning topical news show in one epic double bill!

I FORGIVE YOU, PLEASE LIKE ME blisteringly funny and self-deprecating show. hilarious because her approach is so sharp and unabashed. While she’s certainly personable enough to be well suited to this kind of intimate setting, part of me wishes that she will get a larger one next time she’s in this neck of the woods - arts fringes ★★★★

With insight as intriguing as it is funny, it’s Maguire’s unique perspective that makes her such a must-see at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In the end, it’s the sacrifices she made to ‘likeability’ which will make you love her. -edinburgh festivals ★★★★

Maguire is on confident, daring form. This is a self-assured performance from a woman who has mastered her craft and who, ironically given the show’s title, leaves the audience with little choice but to like her. -the skinny ★★★★

with her quick quips and confident delivery, the audience are on her side and the jokes land every time. -three weeks ★★★★

Maguire's delivery – all cocked head, conspiratorial and mock-flirty – recalls fellow Irish whimsy-maker David Doherty, but here she swaps lo-fi keyboard ditties for political pronouncements lathered in a delightful and winning irony. -the list ★★★★
