Elaine Fellows: Stalemate (WIP)

A work-in-progress stand-up show by Elaine Fellows about decision paralysis, anxiety and a long habit of avoiding choices, staged at Gael & Grain in Glasgow.

Elaine Fellows brings this stand-up show to Gael & Grain, a theatre in Glasgow. Its subject is decision paralysis: the performer describes a lifelong tendency to follow rather than decide, and a point where avoiding decisions is no longer possible. The comedy draws on personal confessions, including a career that grew out of a lie told to a husband on a first date.

The material also covers French Bulldogs and anxiety, and the performer presents it as a stalemate with themselves. Elaine Fellows has toured alongside Laura Smyth, Colin Hoult and Paul McCaffrey, and this is a work in progress, so the show is still in development.

Expect a single performer delivering storytelling-led stand-up in a theatre setting. The show suits audiences who enjoy personal, confessional comedy about everyday anxieties and indecision.
