Sad Girl Songs: A Comedy Show written and performed by Gwendolyn Coburn and directed by Kayleigh Kane is making its NYC debut in April before heading to Edinburgh Fringe.
The production will be presented as part of the 2025 New York City Fringe Festival with FRIGID New York at wild project (195 E 3rd St, New York, NY 10009) with performances on Fri April 4 at 8:10pm, Mon April 7 at 6:30pm, Sat April 12 at 3:40pm, Mon April 14 at 8:10pm & Fri April 18 at 6:30pm.

A dark comedy about when #YesAnd becomes #MeToo. This hilarious and harrowing musical weaves together satirical songs with titles like "Daddy Issues Boyfriend" and "Thank You For Not Murdering Me" with real-life Bumble profiles, the language of rape culture, post-traumatic stress disorder, and the misleading story of Medusa. Sad Girl Songs has toured across North America winning multiple awards, including Best Musical at Winnipeg Fringe and an honor for artistic risk at Vancouver Fringe. "We wanted it to be brutally funny and equally brutally honest. It's a comedy show, and it's a show about comedy" says writer and performer Gwen Coburn.
