Gaslighting is My Love Language is a darkly comedic, lightning quick solo show by Fielding Edlow (Bojack Horseman). The show is about being gaslit for 13 years by a character actor husband. Fresh off a successful run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, it was featured in the UK Times: "Their marriage was like the Exxon Valdez supertanker leaking gallons of oil in your home." It is about an intimacy-avoidant, charming woman who just wanted a boyfriend and ended up in a 13-year marriage or "light hostage situation." It’s a 21st century Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf but instead of parlor games and Dewars, it’s words with friends and microdosing sheet cakes. Fielding was a 24 hour concierge to an Irish show pony who owned 3 pairs of crocs and called her "kiddo." The only real reason to get married is to lie in bed and talk about people you hate… but what if one day you wake up and you’re like "Uh oh I hate you!"
