REVIEW: My Boyfriend Paid £700 for Oasis Tickets Then Left Me When I Refused to Get Him Cocaine. What's Your Story?

The title may be long, but LP Kent’s debut Fringe show wastes no time. From the moment she steps on stage, it’s clear she's not just a comic, but also a host, curator, and chaos conductor, with just the right touch of unhinged.

At first glance, the show promises a night of jaw-dropping dating stories and shocking audience confessions. And we get that, filthy, funny, occasionally horrifying. But beneath the jokes and the £700 Oasis ticket prize lies something more unexpected: a meditation on choice.

This is not just a show about failed relationships or outrageous exes. It’s about what it means to say no. To change your mind. To decide what version of yourself you're going to be. We, the audience, are complicit from the beginning—invited to vote, judge, and joke about other people’s choices, even as we reflect on our own.

The stories, both from LP and from audience participants, are not just entertaining. Some are genuinely unnerving. Others feel eerily familiar. Through them, a subtle throughline emerges: the way our choices shape our lives, slowly and sometimes all at once. There’s real generosity in LP’s hosting, especially toward the women brave enough to tell their stories with other (we’re rooting for all your dates, girls).

Of course, there’s the matter of the Oasis tickets. Yes, they’re real. But after hearing the concert ritual shared by LP, you may not want them. Or maybe that’s the point. What begins as a chaotic comedy turns, gradually and gracefully, into something else, a space where we learn what we’re willing to share, what we’re ready to laugh at, and what we might want to take back.

About LP Kent

This is LP Kent’s Edinburgh debut. She is more often found promoting events and compering cabaret in London. Horrified by resale ticket prices, LP has combined a desire to find a truly deserving recipient for the tickets, and her comedic storytelling skills, with her passionate belief that sharing our stories can save our lives. LP is also being filmed for a short documentary about what it’s like to put on her first Edinburgh show in less than a month.
