SUMMARY:Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen
DESCRIPTION:I’m 36\, I’m a comedian\, and I’m about to kill my boyfriend… \nFrom the Olivier Award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer comes this blisteringly funny and unnervingly honest dark comedy by Marcelo Dos Santos (Backstairs Billy). \nA perpetually single\, professionally neurotic stand-up finally meets his Mr. Right—and then does absolutely everything wrong. But is Mr. Right all he seems? And how far will this comedian go for the sake of a killer punchline? \nWith razor-sharp wit and aching vulnerability\, Feeling Afraid as if Something Terrible is Going to Happen dives headfirst into modern love\, ego\, and the fine art of self-sabotage. Hilarity and heartbreak collide in a whip-smart\, one-man confessional about intimacy\, insecurity\, and the danger of getting exactly what you think you want. \n“The gag-count is ridiculously high… Catch it\, before everyone else does.” – The Telegraph \n“…funny while being uncomfortably real\, sometimes devastating\, and consistently entertaining.” – Salterton Arts Review \n  \nThere are multiple performances of this show – \nSaturday 14 March 2026 6:30pm\nTuesday 17 March 2026 7:30pm\nWednesday 18 March 2026 6:30pm\nThursday 19 March 2026 7:30pm\nFriday 20 March 2026 6:30pm\nSaturday 21 March 2026 6:30pm\nTuesday 24 March 2026 7:30pm\nWednesday 25 March 2026 6:30pm\nThursday 26 March 2026 7:30pm\nFriday 27 March 2026 6:30pm\nSaturday 28 March 2026 3:00pm\nSaturday 28 March 2026 6:30pm\nTuesday 31 March 2026 7:30pm\nWednesday 1 April 2026 6:30pm\nThursday 2 April 2026 7:30pm

Settle in with a drink\, relax into the warm after-hours atmosphere\, and\, if you feel like lingering\, add one of ITR’s signature platters to enjoy at your table. Share a song with friends if the moment feels right\, or simply lean back and listen. \nFrom big feelings to quiet confessions\, every moment is once-only… if you know\, you know. \nStay for one drink—or stay until the piano plays its final chord. At The Secret Piano Bar\, the night is yours.
