Everyone goes through heartbreak in their 20s but what if you need surgery to fix it?

Composer-comedian Athanasia Kontou was enjoying life, partying with her friends and dating casually to avoid heartache, when she found out she already had two holes in her heart. In this one-woman comedy music show, she tells the personal story of her transformative heart surgery. Stories from Athanasia’s diary entries, songs about being in pain, and jokes about anxiety, coalesce into an authentic, hilarious, and dark hour about finding strength and resilience in vulnerability.

This show has been described by audience members like “nothing they have seen before” , but it might remind you Bo Burnham's "Inside”.

Athanasia Kontou was nominated for an Ivor Novello Composition Award in 2023 and won RLPO’s Rushworth Composition Prize in 2019. She is the winner of Austria’s Best New Comedian 2025.
