Woman-in-need hires out city restaurant in a bid to find a man

By Christine Lavelle

A FRINGE festival comedienne has booked out a restaurant in Edinburgh on Sunday night, in her quest to find a ‘quality’ one-night-stand.

Gemma Goggin, 30, star of show Get Laid or Die Trying, has been telling her sell-out audiences about the trials and tribulations of finding sex as a single girl.

She will take over Mexican restaurant Illegal Jacks on the city’s Lothian Road, using it as a venue for speed-dating.

Gemma said: “Illegal Jacks was getting a lot of buzz on Twitter for having good meat, so I want to see if that applies to the guys as well as the food, so I contacted them and asked if I could take over the venue for a few hours to host some speed dating.
