00:00 I just was sat in there waiting,
00:03 and then obviously the door closed,
00:04 and I was like, oh, it's just me.
00:05 And I didn't really think anything of it.
00:08 I just thought, wow, I get to sort of enjoy
00:12 this performance in all its glory.
00:14 So yeah, no, it was great.
00:16 Well, Georgie and I had connected online.
00:18 We're both girls that are taking female-led shows
00:21 up to the fringe.
00:22 I'm doing I Love You Now up here in this space
00:25 at the Pleasant's Courtyard.
00:26 And yeah, we were just supporting each other.
00:29 And yeah, I just went along to see her and support her.
00:31 'Cause I know it's really hard to bring,
00:34 sort of like, for a woman to bring a solo show up.
00:38 And yeah, it's an incredible, incredible achievement.
00:41 So yeah, support it.
00:43 Go, girl power. (laughs)
00:46 Honestly, it was lovely.
00:47 And she was a superstar.
00:49 She gave me everything as if the room was completely full.
00:54 Yeah, so professional, so brave.
00:55 And then we had a really lovely hug
00:56 and a big cuddle at the end and a little chat.
00:59 So yeah, no.
01:00 And I'm really pleased that there's so much support
01:03 for her now, so yeah.
