Comedy review: Evelyn Mok: Hymen Manoeuvre

Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Evelyn Mok lost her virginity at 25. The experience was so traumatic, it's haunted her ever since. This brutally honest show is her attempt to come to terms with not only that, but the complexities of life as a Chinese-Swedish plus-sized young woman.

Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33)

**

She’s a slick performer whose willingness to share intimate and unflattering personal information is certainly quite brave. Unfortunately, her anguished intensity becomes overbearing at times and – crucially – she’s not particularly funny. I left feeling unmoved and slightly irritated.

Until 27 August. Today 6pm.
