Yvette Segan is a 20-something with a growing audience as an American stand-up comedian and podcaster, with close to half a million Instagram followers. For her Fringe debut, she wanted the UK audiences to know that she’s just like them. She has a loving relationship with her parents, even if they never speak of it aloud. She already has learned lots from her previous attempts at love and romance, specifically how masculinity is a prison that sets boys up for failure as men, and how she finally found a good boyfriend, even if or perhaps because he is bi.
But most of all, you’ll come to learn why Segan’s reels pop. She’s earnestly awkward and yet also conversational. Leaning into her audience and the awkwardness. Will she still be awkward when she gets even more popular, though?
Yvette Segan: Guy’s Girl played The Den at Gilded Balloon Teviot during the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe.
