Helen Arney

Comedy / Festival of Festivals

Songs for Modern Loving sees Helen Arney sharing an hour of songs, stand-up and ukuleles to take you through the highs, lows (and really lows) of looking for that perfect someone. If Juliet were alive today, would she still choose secret trysts and double suicide over a fixed-rate mortgage and awkward Christmas dinners with Romeo's parents?

Why do unrequited office romances always end with you losing your heart as well as your favourite stapler? Helen has songs about all these burning questions, and even a few answers. As heard on BBC Radio 4 and 6 Music and at Latitude, Green Man, Greenbelt, End of the Road and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals this year.
