Extract from Maia Tassalini's Edinburgh show

Recorded at Chortle's Fast Fringe

Comedian Maia Tassalini talks about her boyfriend’s mother being passive-aggressive about her wearing make-up in this stand-up clip.

And the judgment goes both ways, as the comic is unimpressed by their love of a ‘proper’ pub.

She also speaks about being the product of a one-night stand in this extract from her Edinburgh Fringe show I Was 22 And Stunning, being performed at Pleasance Courtyard at 6pm.

It was recorded at Chortle's Fast Fringe – which is on at Pleasance Dome at 18:30 daily. Tickets here.

Filming by NextUp,  which is streaming shows to subscribers this Fringe. Sign up here.
