The Fringe First award-winning show Parasocial Activity will transfer to Southwark Playhouse Borough from 13-30 January 2027.

Written and performed by Scottish actor Briony Martha in her debut solo show, we follow Jenny, who meets her celebrity crush, James McAvoy, in Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street Costa. What begins as a seemingly harmless manner develops into a dark comedy about celebrity obsession, the internet, and fantasy.

Parasocial Activity’s protagonist Jenny McGuire commented: “I’m absolutely buzzing to bring Parasocial Activity to London! Edinburgh’s had its fill of me, now it’s time for a whole new audience to hear my story. I’ve had a taste of the spotlight and I’m not about to give it up now. Parasocial Activity is funny, it’s twisted, and there’s plenty you won’t see coming. So come and see what all the fuss is about, guys I promise you - this really is the greatest love story of all time.”
