After a hectic month performing my show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, I’d booked a solo holiday to Porto, Portugal. I’d gone through a bad break-up with my boyfriend the year before and this was my first holiday alone. But as a comedian, I was used to going on stage on my own, so I reckoned I could cope. ‘Do you mind if I sit here?’As the morning went on, the tables around me filled up. I’m so glad I took that solo holiday because if I hadn’t I’d never have met John.
