Luisa Omielan is a stand-up, improviser and actress. Her debut solo show What Would Beyonce Do? was an underground smash hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and has become one of the most successful debut shows to come out of Edinburgh.

What is this book about?
You know when you find yourself approaching thirty and your dreams are broken? You’ve got a temping career going nowhere, a student debt that’s mounting and you’ve just had to move back into your mum’s house.
Then to top it all off, you get absolutely annihilated with heartbreak because of an ex, who is just ‘not ready’ but then manages to be ready, a week later, with someone else.
And it is here, at your lowest point, that one of your best friends decides to remind you that you are the same age as Beyoncé.
FML.
